1 – I speak French and I’m learning Japanese.

2 – I worked as a professional model for six years and even went on incredible national tours.  I worked with a ton of amazing photographers, designers, stylists, and other models.  I also was featured in many magazines, and even landed a few covers!

3 – I have two cats named Lady and Squishy.  They are both special needs and I love them as if they were my children.

4 – I’m the scholar and historian for both sides of my family.  I keep the records and spoken information about my family ancestry.

5 – In addition to being an author, I’m also a professional artist.  I’ve had my artwork featured in galleries and I do commission work.  I also create the cover art and illustrations for some of my books.

6 – I’m a talented professional poet.  I’m finalizing my sixth and seventh poetry collections for release December 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.

7 – Prior to the pandemic, I worked as a drag artist performing live at nightclubs and theatres.  Performing at summer festivals and private events were some of my favourite experiences.

8 – I visited Japan and had some incredible experiences while I was there, including having a party with maiko at a tea house. 

9 – I was a competitive swimmer for 16 years.  I was the team tank; I could swim forever.  I specialized in all the heavy events like the 500 Freestyle and the 200 Butterfly.

10 – In addition to being traditionally published, I also co-own a publishing company with my co-editor and best friend, Bryan Thompson.  Together, we created Cloud Orchid Publishing where we publish our art books, poetry collections, and some of my novels together.  The company evolved from our alternative fashion magazine Cloud Orchid Magazine which ran for 27 issues.

  1. I know many people believe in mermaids..and kids love them! I'd love to read this book and any of your poetry. In high school I was on our speech team and my choice to compete in was poetry. I did fairly well as I love poetry!! :)

Please try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
