I have always loved writing since I was a kid. I started my first book when I was 12, but of course never finished it. I had written a decent amount of one from 2010 to 2013, but it was before I started using cloud, and my house got broken into, and they stole my laptop. So that one was gone. I started another one, but my inspiriation for it went away in 2017, and never returned. All creative flow was gone for it. I finally grounded myself from all of my favorite distractions until I finished Story of a Pool Player, from 2021 to 2024. I hit a milestone on it, and stalled out, and took my mom getting very ill and wanting to see the whole story to get me fired up again. I finished before she died, but didn't get the cover, editing, etc. done until after she passed. In the process of learning the upload process, I decided I wanted to practice with something besides my main book, and rediscovered my work that I had completed back in 2001 called Xisis. Very opposite books, enjoy!
