I’m a full-time writer and part-time visual artist who grew up among the coal mines and cornfields of southern Illinois, and in the mellow outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee. My writing comes out in various ways – stories, poetry, books – and my art ranges from painting to sketching to photography. All of it’s in constant motion. Thank you for looking.
