I began writing stories as a kid.  I started lots of them, but finished few.  Then in high school, I created a comic book character and dreamed up a whole series.  I wrote and illustrated a single issue, and photocopied it at Kinko's.  I stopped writing for a while after that, until later in college.  As an undergraduate I wrote mostly science fiction and fantasy short stories.  I also wrote some poetry.  I have continued to write short stories, but now I mostly work on middle grade and young adult novels.  I hope to have one published soon.
