24601!!!!! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself)
I'm a Latter-day Saint, a husband, a father, and a lawyer (not the kind that can help you or your relative, I'm afraid). I've tried at times to give up writing. But the story ideas -- and the yearning to share them -- are relentless. I can't stop them. So I've decided to try embracing them.
Who am I?
