Wow, your super cell photo is beautiful!  Looks like a cover for your book! Welcome.

Funny thing is I made a limited run (meaning three spiral bound) books, which I gave one to my father on his seventieth B-day.  He made me watch Cujo at a tender age.  A point that I will always attribute a little of my dark streak to.  Anyhow, storms play a part in the book and I did use it for the cover.  I filtered it with a little dark sepia, brought out the gold and brown colors and Bam  cover page.

Additional note:  That supercell was from a tornadic supercell over Andover, Kansas back in 2002.

Hey all-

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a bit of an eccentric life that has led me in several directions.

I recently started a job that unfortunately closed off my time to write, but before that I was a storm chaser, photographer, ordained minister, and worked medicine for 13 years.

Here’s some chase logs and photos:  http://belzeebub.deviantart.com/ and http://members.cox.net/mightybri

I became interested in writing after a wonderful teacher suggested that I try it for a contest.  I didn’t place, but my teacher loved my writing.  My academic career took forever because I always forced a couple writing or lit courses to fuel my imagination while taking chemistry and biology classes.

Anyhow, I finished my first novel, a young adult adventure, back in 2002 and have not revisited it since.  My next novel was described as a detective novel meets Clive Barker, “Hell to Pay”.

“A man who thinks he lost his soul, meets a man who has.”

I’ve had several agents show interest and have been shopping it around.  I’m still waiting for that call though.  At least being a full time writer would allow me more chasing time in the spring while doing book tours.
