Personal Note: Always wanted to share my own story to "give back" to the community. To maybe help someone else who struggles in the shadows. A book, "The Best Little Boy In The World," made the difference between life and death to me in my early twenties.

Influences include Andrew Tobias, Stephen King, Mary Roberts Rhinehart, Alison Smith, Sonja Livingston, and a good vodka martini.
