My love with science fiction and fantasy has been ever present throughout my
life. I remember wanting an ewok after watching Star Wars when I was 4, I
was transported by the books of C.S. Lewis as a child, and in my teens I turned
to fiction with strong science themes by Dan Brown and Michael Crichton.
But it wasn't until college that my love of science fiction really matured into a passion when I took the class, ‘The Literature of Science Fiction and Fantasy’ with Tony
Daniel, which introduce me to the world of short stories and science fiction
classics. It was even my first time seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey! I wrote my first short story, read and edited
the short stories of other novice writers, and decided then that one day I will
turn my dreams of writing into a reality.
So as 2015 starts I'm giving myself a year to make that a reality.
I'll be using this blog to discuss my inspirations from all things science
fiction and fantasy, provide any helpful info I find about writing, and
hopefully help some other aspiring writers that just don't know where to
start.
When I'm not writing, I work as a behavior analyst with kids
with autism. I also have a bachelors degree is in speech language pathology and
a masters degree in Neuroscience and Cognition.
