Characters in good stories make decisions and take action. They can inspire us to live our lives that way too, if we let them.
Location:
New York, New York, U.S.A.
Professional title:
Composer, author, and music teacher
What do you do?
I write fantasy novels, compose musicals, and help students master the technical side of singing.
Why?
Writing helps me think more clearly, and clearer thinking helps me create better stories. I love expressing myself through art, and I believe technical mastery is what gives that expression a chance to reach others.
What should we read?
"Cry to Heaven" by Anne Rice and the entire Realm of the Elderlings series by Robin Hobb. (Start with Assassin's Apprentice).
