Author Biography

Gifted with keen perception and an unwavering determination, Kitaro has always shown the appearance of a respectful young adult, professional and mature. On the inside, however, his mind is never at rest. Satisfaction has never caught up with him. To Kitaro, the best part of being alive is the ability to improve, knowing that every day that passes he gets just a little bit better. In Kitaro's own words, "I'll go ahead and tell you that with my stories, I curse and can sometimes be choreographic with my fight scenes. Inspired by Lord Byron, all of my main characters are troubled individuals. They are sophisticated, arrogant, seductive, disrespectful of authority, self-destructive and struggle with a sense of integrity, what's right or wrong."
