Greetings and salutations.

Welcome to my virtual 'About the Author'. Unfortunately you won't find much... (I'm not all that interesting, you see.)

I write because I enjoy it; it's freeing. And though I'm not the best I can be at it, I feel that practice makes perfect... Hopefully. =)

I only have two stories up as of now and they are Anna(LOTR) and Finding Grace(POTC). I am currently working on Anna but have ceased work on Finding Grace. I started it a long time ago, it seems, and have no idea now what I wanted to do with it then. Or where I should go with it now.

Anyway, I have a multitude of influences that span not only books but music, movies and yes, even some real life. So many in fact that I could not begin to name them all here. I will say that I like classics and I like poetry. My pen name here is actually taken from a Lewis Carroll poem entitled Rules and Regulations. It's one of my very favorites and if you haven't read it, one I would highly recommend. Just keep in mind that it is Lewis Carroll, so some of it (or most of it) is actually pretty strange. Actually I would recommend anything by Lewis Carroll and if you haven't read Alice in Wonderland please do because the Disney version does not do it justice... Damn Disney.
