About

Welcome to Byzantine Roads, my personal Blog about my life and writing.

I am trying to reclaim some of the promise I showed years ago and start a writing career. I have published previously in the Penguin Review, 1999, The Jambar as Assistant News Editor and in the English Journal.

In the years since these publications, I have often started, But never finished, a wide variety of work: Screenplays, Novels, Stories, and articles. Like most, I pushed my writing into the background to make time for Career, School and family. However, It could be a mid life crisis ( I am almost 40) or something,but I am really trying to jump start a career of my own choosing.

In addition, I have been running the Steel Valley Outdoors Weblog and Ohio Tech Blog

I hope to use this blog as an Online Diary, showing my personal growth as a writer to to have its archives act as a resource for other aspiring writers.
