| Introduction | The picture is of me with my niece Freya Robson, twin sister of Meghan. This blog exists as a showcase of my writing and my influences. Come and take a look; here you will find essays, fiction novels, poetry, and film and play scripts. I was born in Granada Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles, grew up in the Bay Area (Sunnyvale), attended high school at Homestead High along with Messrs. Jobs and Wozniak (no, I did not know them, and knew nothing about computers). I went to De Anza Jr. College in Cupertino I studied Drama there. I transferred to San Diego State University as a Drama major, but only after living in Ventura, CA for a few years. I graduated in 1982, and moved up here at that time to stay with a blind relative. I have spent the years inbetween schooling then and now working for organizations like McDonald's and 7-Eleven, and am now attending NSCC as part of worker retraining in order to advance to a more profitable career using my talent for writing. |
