Short Bio: Born and raised in a small town in Texas I never thought I'd end up in Los Angeles. It was much more likely I'd be one of those bitter hometown english teachers that spend more time talking about their glory days than Beowulf. But in an incredible twist of fate here I am, writing my little heart out, and making peace with the idea that I may end up as that teacher after all. Only time will tell.
