With a fascination for words,storytelling became second nature at a young age. Using his rampant imagination, he hascreated new worlds in his writing with a strong focus and preoccupation on characterbuilding. Currently living in Ithaca NY, when not writing, Witty enjoys time with his partnerand children, and playing fantasy role-playing games with the local children at the elementaryschools.During his thirty-five year tenure as a small business owner and manager, Witty hasdeveloped a strong passion for storytelling and became a game master. Witty's actual lifeexperiences, journeys, and adventures fuel an unwavering creative story and it is from herethat the writing launches. Out of his love of world history and study for many years, hebecame a teacher and is now a member of the Writers Guild of America. Witty views historythrough the lens of myth, legend, and wonder. It is with this magic that he enjoys expressingthe ideal that anything in life is possible. The struggle to answer the mystery of man's ownpotential and how it can easily go awry drives his writing.With his stories dealing mostly with the relationships of the characters and how they relateto each other, Witty hopes to effectively show how unity can still be achieved in diversity. "Asmuch as Americans in the U.S. would like to think that we are a melting pot of cultures, wehave become quite galvanized in the question of us vs them instead. Through his novels,Witty hopes to inspire hope and change as he is consistently involved with how to make adifference with today's environmental and socioeconomic issues.view less
