Super Llama: Llamas are awesome! (17)
My Bio
I am a fantasy author who loves to paint. Writing and painting work together nicely; one inspires me to do the other. I am endlessly fascinated by nature, myth, legend and imagination.

I have shown paintings in galleries and shows around New England and published art in various fantasy magazines. I am the author of Outpost, Book One in The Fylking, the fantasy series Chronicles of Ealiron and Wizards, Woods and Gods.
