I teach full-time (science) at a community college near Detroit, Michigan. My love of good writing goes back to early childhood, and I've relatively recently rediscovered my love of doing my own writing. I enjoy anything edgy, unconventional, and challenging. My writing tends to be somewhat dark, dealing with conflict, loss, mortality, violence, and the difficulty, anger and heartbreak that come with remaining a true human being in a world going mad. I believe in hope, too, but hope is a word that's thrown around far too casually with no regard for its hidden dangers. To be truly alive is to feel, and to truly feel is to hurt.
