Where does one begin with their villain origin story? I've never had the need for a droning monologue, but let me do my best here.

It all started with a father that hated me ...

Wait, no. It all started with being raised Catholic. 

Hold on — that's not right. It must have begun with dropping out of high school and getting my GED, which forced me to join the military, which landed me in a long-line of unlikely, remarkable situations that led to me getting a Master's in Creative Writing, a copy editor certification, and writing stories aimed to tell stories about perspectives you might've not ever considered before.

Yes, that sounds about right. I could throw in all the men that have hurt me or the countries I've visited. But all in all, it curated a dark mind, a light heart, and a deep sense of empathy that I wield like a sword during political debates. 

I'm proud of where I've been, even if it chipped at my soul tear by tear. It brought me here, you here, to this website where you'll theoretically end up reading my books.

And that's a win.
