About Me
Hello, my name is Jose Casillas, writer and aspiring filmmaker. I began to write a few years ago and since then I've created a few short stories. Not published yet, but hoping that will change someday. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from St. Mary's University in 2016, and I now live at home with my wife. I think that writing truly is my passion. I've always had a facility with words, literature, and an overactive imagination, so I thought why not try my hand at writing. I enjoy literature (fiction), film, video games, I simply enjoy being lost in worlds of my own creation or someone else's. I also enjoy sports (playing and viewing), traveling and seeing new places and people as well as for the new experiences. If you enjoyed what you've read (or not) and would like to let me know your thoughts, I can be reached at:
