My Twitter bio said writer, poet, explorer and mystic and that probably says it all quite neatly. I've written stories my whole life, even before I could actually read. My father mistakenly allowed me to use his typewriter from an early age and I was hooked. I'm not sure the typewriter survived very long having me bash out strings of letters in the belief that what I had in my head would magically transform into words others can read. I've got better at that. I write novels, short stories and poetry, and I also blog at http: //zenandtheartoftightropewalking.wordpress.com
