As a child, I was convinced I would grow up to live in the Amazon Rainforest in a hut on stilts and study all the creepy, fascinating creatures that lived hidden in the misty darkness. Knives were bought, survival skills acquired, monster dictionaries created...and even though I didn’t end up living in the Amazon (sorrow upon sorrow) it still comes in more handy than you’d think living in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles. By day, I’m a computer programmer. But by night I craft chilling, monstrous creations and deliver them straight to your ears. Some of my work includes: The Myth Archive, The Dracula Files, and now...Janus Descending, where I get to join Jordan and her incredible team to bring this tale of xenoarcheological terror to life.
