Tennessee

I am a versatile writer, in the process of completing my first novel, which is a dark comedy set in my hometown of Hartselle, Alabama. I also have various poems and short stories that I am currently working on. When it comes to genre, I am not an author who prefers to work in the comfort zone of labels. My work thus far ranges from almost nonrepresentational surrealism that demands a lot of cooperation from the imagination, to the realistic struggles that the everyday American finds his or herself dealing with in their lives.

I have a B.A in English and Philosophy from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Although I am passionate about the study of philosophy as a whole, my primary areas of interest lie in: spiritual philosophy and philosophy of religion, axiology and meta-ethics, and sociopolitical philosophy.
