I started blogging more than ten years ago, after learning about building my author platform online at a writing symposium. I never imagined, though, the release and joy I would find at being able to share my thoughts on writing, literature, music, the world, and life in general would bring. To me blogging is a platform,  not only to try and bring attention to my writing (because if you haven’t read any of my fantasy, horror, or Appalachian fiction, there is no better time than the present) but also to try and help those who read it through information about my own experiences and a general sense of hopeful inspiration. In short, my blogging is a double purpose; to try and build a bigger audience for my books, and to try and give something positive back to the world. Because we can all use that, right?
