It all started back in 2012. After the End of Days, I graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in marine biology and entered dental school….logical, right?

One day, I was attempting to remove the skin off of my cadaver, when I flew back and piece of moldy heel skin flew across my face. It was then when it dawned upon me: I really hate this.

I walked out of Anatomy Lab and I never returned. Instead, I went running in the woods, got lost, dropped out of school, and started writing my first novel, THE DEATH OF GRANDOTE.

Nearly four years later, I am the proud owner of my own publishing house and mobile bookstore, a 2001 Dodge van named Leon Rainbow.

Am I a millionaire? Not even close.

Am I happy? Damn right.

The moral of this story: Be true to yourself. You never know where life might lead you. As Paulo Coelho would advise, follow your own Personal Legend. You are more capable than you think.

P.S. you should probably buy one of my books…
