Author: J Tyes

I am a native of Buffalo, New York but currently residing in Connecticut. I am an avid reader and an Indie author. I deal with adversity every day and I aim to use my words to help others overcome their own adversities in life. Although my passion for technology continues to flourish, my passion for writing has become more important in my life. I aspire to share my writing with the world and be an example for my children.
