I’ve always loved creating things, even as a child. In elementary school I spent way too much time writing and drawing my own comics, making copies on the school copy machine, and selling them for a quarter each. I’ve also made a handful of animated shorts, most of which are embarrassingly awful and will stay buried. Oh, and there’s that Sonic the Hedgehog fangame I made back in middle school. Yeah, the less said about that, the better. Over the years I dabbled in programming and web design, as well as both computer and hand drawn animation, but ultimately went on to pursue a career in law. At the moment I’m writing the Blackcoats series, with plans to eventually get back to the shelved Spark sequel. I currently live in New York with my wife and kids.
