Ian cannot precisely pinpoint the moment that he expressed an interest in writing and reading but, if he had to guess, it would have occurred around the time he carved his name into his Grandmother’s antique dining table with a pair of scissors. He was four or five, and his family was less than excited about his new interest. Even so, he's been an avid reader and writer ever since. In a society that obsesses over images, Ian loves words. He is dedicated to the art of writing well and believes that any piece of writing, even a banal article discussing the irksome proliferation of pocket lint, can be engaging and interesting. As a writer, Ian is committed to crafting energetic and efficient prose and holds himself to the highest standards of quality.
