: About Me

Ever since I was very young, I've had a passion for the written word. My primary genre is Fantasy, though because of my passion for ancient history (primarily ancient Egypt), I also specialize in writing about the culture and mythology of ancient people. Being someone who has always been very inquisitive, I love to explore "what ifs" through my writing, and due to my emotionally-based nature as an Aquarius/Pisces cusp, the majority of my fiction and poetry are speculative and emotional.

Currently, I'm working on a few novels which I hope to publish one day soon, as well as many short stories and poems as the ideas, feelings, and words flow through me and into tangible form.

My passions for thinking, for animals, for unconventional beauty, and for ancient history and mythology shape my writing into what it is and I am always looking for ways to improve not only my writing, but myself as well. I achieve this through both reading and writing.

My passion is ...

writing, beauty in all things, ancient Egypt, speculation, and reading.

I know too much about ...

everything and anything I can bring myself to contemplate. Though as some would say, you can never know too much about anything.

My childhood ambition ...

varied throughout the years, but it always revolved around the arts and other cultures.

Why I write ...

I write because I need to. It's in my blood, my heart, my very soul.

My first job ...

was typing school papers for my brother and cousins before they themselves could type.

My inspiration ...

life, humanity, emotions, states of being, history

It was quiet there. The first thing I noticed was the silence, the overbearing silence where I couldn't even hear myself breathe or think. Was I breathing? I couldn't tell. There was Nothing, no sound, no emotion, yet there was also a lingering fear on the edge of it all. I knew that it was bad; it was evil, and there was nothing I wanted to do more than leave this state of nonexistence disguised as peace. I couldn't be certain, but I felt I knew what it was: it was insanity, a sense of loss beyond the edge of good or evil while evil still reeked about it, beyond the edge of death or life....
