 I am an AC Content producer right now currently, and I have written over sixty articles in the last three months. My content is from many different areas, from how-to maintenance guides to philosophies on human society. I am currently finishing the edits on my first novel, 'Film At Eleven', a psychological thriller that is the beginning of a series of novels that I am hoping to finish entitled 'The Seers'. My main character's name is Jethro "Jett" Montgomery, a blind ex-convict turned criminal investigator that solves crimes with his gift of being a touch psychic. Jett, however, is not without battle scars as he is running from a tragic past that began at the age of fifteen when he caused the tragic death of a childhood friend during a drunk-driving accident. He also is having to contend with being a single parent to an eleven-year-old adopted son from a previous relationship and has a private battle with alcoholism that he is trying to endure that was caused by the disappearance of a beloved young niece that he fears has been kidnapped and is possibly dead. Now a man still running, he ends up in the small city of St. Charles, just outside of St. Louis, where he is called in to investigate the murder of his aunt, a former Hollywood starlet that was found killed in her home in the most horrific of ways and is now facing a force that is only known as the Quartet, who have been leaving him clues in the form of a mysterious movie script that may contain the answers to the crimes that are happening. With the help of Associated Press reporter and fellow psychic Duane Dillinger and defamed U.S. Marshal Amanda Benson, the trio races to decipher the clues behind his aunt's death, only to find that there may be even more secrets that are left behind in the wake of the tragedy that may point further west and the possibility of one of the greatest acts of murder occurring that America has ever seen!
I also write under a pseudonym for my paranormal and horror books, Tobin Brice. In the wings, I have two other projects that I am currently working on that deal with the supernatural. The first I have published in part at Associated Content entitled 'Dream Walker', the story of Seattle architect Clay James, a chronic insomniac that has been mourning the disappearnce of his wife and infant son. But, after joining an experimental dream research project in order to find the cure for his ailment, Clay finds that an old memory of a past sin is haunting his dreams, and that sin has been following him since he left the small town of Hollow Point, Oregon, and he isn't sure if he is hallucinating from the lack of sleep or if he is being followed by a creature that he only knows as 'Bing', who may be taking his revenge on him from the beyond! The other is a dark fantasy I have deemed 'Stalking Hours', about the descendant of the fabled Ichabod Crane, who works for a paranormal research agency that is as old as the Catholic church. But, in the first story, he must protect a young woman by the name of Ophelia Baxter, who may be the product of paranormal origins and is being sought after by the Forgotten Races, the things that we fear which go bump in the night that actually do exist and seek Ophelia as a new claim to power in a world that they call 'The Stillness', a dark realm where these creatures have been imprisoned and protected by a mysterious order who does not wish humanity to know the truth behind the dark legends that lay just beyond the veil of reason. But, they must almost contend with an ancient curse that stretches back to the early 17th century in the form of a creature that is only known as the Beast, who will stop at nothing to break all out of the Stillness and into the real world...even if it means killing the one thing that this order has been sworn to protect!
I have been writing since the age of twelve, and have been invited to several writing competitions and symposiums within the State of Oregon since the age of fifteen. I have written many collected works that have never been published, from poetry and short stories all the way down to song lyrics. I was a semi-professional Karaoke singer in my twenties, and am also a strong advocate for elderly rights currently. I live in a small town that is known as the 'grass seed capitol of the world'. I also enjoy PBS and lots of crime shows, such as 'CSI', and my greatest literary inspiration is Stephen King.

MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- At the age of fifteen, I was invited to the State of Oregon High School Writing Competition and Symposium for an excerpt of an earlier work, 'The Days of The Green and the Gray', a fictitious account of a young grunt during the Vietnam War Era.
- I am a Level 5 Associated Content Web Producer currently, and have garnered nearly four thousand hits in the last three months.
- I have been studying Mayan archaeology with my father for the last fifteen years, and have made some startling discoveries.
- I have had one submission that I had sent to an animation studio that actually took my idea and made it into a film, though they took all the credit for it. It was okay, as I knew the idea was still mine.
