About Me

I obtained a graduate degree in geology from the University of South Carolina in 2012 and have worked in various university and private laboratories. I've been an avid writer since secondary school though ELEMENT is my first book to be published. Will I write another novel? We'll see. Writing is a bit like giving birth. It's painful, it's beautiful, and it's not something to embark on willy-nilly. Aside from novel writing, I also enjoy screenwriting for amateur films that never seem to ever get made.

Some authors I'm fond of are:

Gregory Benford

Ellen Hopkins

Tom Clancy

Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens

Ray Bradbury

Currently reading:

Rumble by Ellen Hopkins

Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux

I also try to stay abreast of developments in science. Journals I read on occasion are:

Microscopy and Microanalysis
