About the Author
First published in the UK magazine Morpheus Tales with the short story “Life and Death,” Anthony is working towards publication of a young adult Fantasy Novel with a goal of 2019 after editing is complete. Anthony additionally has two publications in print in Skifakuest and Haiku Journal (See Author’s Works tab). Anthony is in the process of posting other short stories and works he has written to Amazon publishing for the readers enjoyment.
Anthony is a Christian and takes this lifestyle very seriously. Because of this, in his works he does not use profanity or other edgy mechanisms sometimes common in writing today. It is Anthony’s belief that entertaining genre fiction can be written and enjoyed without the need for this in the story, as evidenced by previous stories such as The Lord of the Rings series. In some cases, Anthony’s stories may appear in magazines or with publishers that do have this type of language or other items he himself does not use. Anthony wants to be clear he does not condone this behavior, but that does not mean he does not value the individual or individuals. On the contrary, they are extremely valued, especially in the eyes of Christ, and it is Anthony’s hope for change in what authors and publishers deem necessary to include in a story to make it a good story.
A native of Indiana, some of Anthony’s favorite past times include spending time with his family, friends, hiking, running, and painting.
