Hello! Me and comic books go back as far as I can remember. As a child I was given them to shut me up (no dvd players or tablets back then). The X-men would help me though my teenage angsty years. I also became a student of STORY in no small part to my attraction to comics, leading me to get a degree in Creative Writing from Ohio University. I have written and edited material for students of English, trade publications and technical manuals. I putter with short stories and look for opportunities to express myself through my writing. Throughout my career I have always circled back to comics -- reading them, collecting them, talking about them. BAM! SMACK! POW! is the perfect place for me.
