I am fascinated with all manifestations of ecstasy and passion, life and death. I am generally happy-go-lucky with small fear of mirrors and my own shadow, but I am trying to improve at living. Living is one thing I am not very good at.

I hope you enjoy your time here and find my writing useful. I write poetry, short stories, and occasional novels; my favourite genres are romance, fantasy, and science fiction. Be warned, as my writing leans towards a dark nature at times, so younger audiences should watch out. I have written tales about psychotic killers, adultery, unnatural relationships, and outer space. I think I enjoy the dark side a bit too much.
