First Story Ever Written


Growing up I was fascinated with R. L. Stine books and other authors of the teen horror/thriller genre.  Therefore, most of my early works have that spooky sort of air about them.   I first began writing when I was about 12 years old only allowing family and friends read them.  I didn’t have a computer at the time so they are all hand written and stored in a three prong folder which I still have.

My first story was titled The Zoo Mystery which tells about a tragedy that has happened fifty years ago in which the police were never able to solve.  Today a group of children hear the tale of the zoo mystery and take it upon their selves to find out what really happened.  With the aid of a supernatural wolf the children are able to discover the truth behind the tragedy and put the zoo mystery to rest.

From there I have written several other stories, fourteen in all which I plan to one day publish in a book of short stories.
