Hola! Heeheehee, hey! My names' Sammi! Well ... it's REALLY Samantha. but, you might have already guessed that. YOU WANT MY BIO?!?!?! here you go! :D The first book I ever read was Black Beauty. And, honestly...I HATED it. Now that I look back, it really wasn't bad at all. When i think about it, I'm pretty sure that the only reason I didn't like it was because it wasn't... young (?) enough. Then I read A Wrinkle In Time. It was okkay, but still not my style, ya know? Then, like a moon shining through the clouds, a book descended on me. Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke. And that was the catalyst for me. Now, instead of hating books, I LOVE THEM! hahaha. Writing is kind of a different story. I never really liked it, but I didn't hate it either. Then, a couple of years ago, in the sixth grade, I wrote a report. I chose to write a "journal" from the....it was during the revolution...and it had the Boston Massacre in it. Whatever,( XD ) so He made me read a couple of my journal entries. He looked really impressed, but didn't say any thing. Later, I got the report back, nd what he said astounded me. He told me i had the makings for a real author. Honestly, i think he was just being kind to me. There were TONS of grammar, punctuation, and tense crap. I look back at it thinking, "It's a good start!" Because, that IS what started me actually writing. Well, thats all you really need to know... XD ~Sammi :D

"Taking fantasy in a completely unique direction." This is what J. Dean intends to do with the Vein series. Instead of following the tried and true methods and paths of familiar fantasy mythos, he created an original world for an epic story. From his Michigan residence, he captures the fantasy world of the Vein (and other stories) and imprisons them upon paper, until the day when the words are set free by the imagination of those willing to read them. The Vein series is J. Dean's first venture into serious writing, and he hopes that you will join him on the twists and turns of this ride that is part excitement, part drama, part terror, and all adventure.

Author bio:
Born last century in a city hospital. I've been writing since grade school but got lost in the 60's, like Dorothy I fell to the Poppies; my detour off the yellow brick road lasted over three decades, just when I thought there was no hope--a miracle happened. When I sold my motorcycle for short money to feed my habit, I knew I was lost. Things got worse. It's in the book. Kicked heroin, cigarettes in that order, went from a bag-man to a happily married home owner, props to Spare Change News, and, while writing poetry decided to share a how-to book with directions back from hell. For counselors, shrinks, and especially for addicts.

Cheers! Poems and short stories have been published by The Bitter Oleander Press, The Sylvan Echo, Pens on Fire. The Cartier Street Review published a passage of The Excess Road in October 2010.
