Biography: I live with a tiny dog. She keeps me company when I’m writing at home. I write things that come straight from my brain, and I try not to edit or alter my work in any way; It\u2019s raw, basically. I think my biggest inspirations are Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe. They write disturbing things, and I love it. Something about the disturbing side of life intrigues me. I like getting lost in something that makes me feel emotion. Perhaps it\u2019s because I have lived a rather troubled life. Long ago someone important left me, and it has affected much of who I am. Creating and venting through words has helped in a way. When I write a poem, I\u2019d like to think that Poe or King would enjoy it if they could read it. It doesn\u2019t matter if they thought it was good or similar to theirs, what matters is that they enjoyed it. I hope people enjoy my work, even if they don\u2019t think it\u2019s Shakespeare. If they don\u2019t enjoy it I hope they are disturbed by it. Enjoyment or disturbance, either is successful to me.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
