I was relentless in my pursuit of writing at Purdue University, even though my family pressured me to study science and engineering. Graduating with a bachelor's in science, I drifted into the medical field and serendipitously woke up one morning with a medical degree. I got married and practiced medicine for 15 years, raising three kids. But life is messy, and the divorce that I got was not from my wife, but from my career. Now, in midlife, I am returning to the one thing I was ever truly passionate about: writing. I specialize in epic fantasy and sci-fi short stories.
My training as a biologist helped me see the interconnectedness in things, that health should be judged by biodiversity, not similarity. As a writer, I do not analyze, I connect, sometimes in the most unusual ways. My plots are Lego sets meant to build a nice fire truck, but instead assembled into a butterfly.ver menos
