Basic Info BioAfter spending all of my life in Texas, I've jumped the Atlantic from Houston to the similar port-town chaos of Lagos, Nigeria. I taught American Lit. and Journalism in North Houston for four years, and now I'm teaching English and Humanities at the American International School here in Lagos. I am a teacher by trade but a writer by vocation, pursuing my dreams in a rather digressive fashion. But what's to enjoy in life if not meaningful digression?
