I was on the set of Christopher Guest’s "Thank You for Your Consideration" when I realized I wanted to be a writer. My first novel was born of a long month sitting in a dusty studio with little to do. That’s when I decided to open my laptop and ‘put to pen’ the ideas and bizarre dreams rolling around in my head.
Growing up in San Diego is where I first dreamt of Ithiria; a fantastic world where elementals guarded the natural balance and evil was born of good intentions. While studying theatre in college the nuances of this land evolved into multiple stories mirroring our own world. Later the works of Grimm, Shelly, and other classic tales the world over came to exist on my pages in new forms. After winning the Fox Reality TV show 'The Search for the Next Elvira' and discovering the works of Christopher Moore, many of my characters took a comedic turn. It wasn’t long until the creatures of Ithiria began to cross each other’s stories.
Ithiria has tales of unwitting royals who unearth great magic, children who wander into dark woods in search of dark creatures, vampires who discover their origins go deeper than a mere lifestyle change, and sheltered adolescents who find themselves capable of heroic feats. All of these plots and characters work toward the greater history of Ithiria; which as in our own world, is just the beginning.
I have a near-constant habit of nerding out on anything comic book, movie, myth, fairy tale, or supernatural, which has forced me to find ways to combine the things I love. Every year of attending Masquerade Balls, Steampunk events, and Comic Conventions causes my stories to become more fantastic. Each set I work on, from I Love You, Man to Star Trek, drives me to add new creations. You can find me at San Diego Comic-Con International every year where I have volunteered since the age of 16 and I have a table in the Autograph Area.
