Music in my veins, movies on my mind, my heart holds a pen, IT my profession. A Worker Poet.

Ethan McGuire grew up in the Missouri Ozarks, but nine years ago he moved to the Florida Panhandle, where he currently lives with his wife and their dog and cat on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. By day, Ethan is a healthcare information technology professional. By night, he is a writer.
