Author Bio:
Born in Bronx, NY but raised in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area, I’ve been traveling and teaching abroad for most of my adult life. My interactions and experiences with different cultures, people and religions sprouted ideas for my short stories and my love for art prompted me to combine my stories with unique illustrations from talented artists. When I’m not writing, I’m gaming with friends, trying new recipes, listening to a plethora of music, and slowly becoming a digital nomad.
