Author has written 3 stories for Warhammer, and Warcraft.

As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once penned for Sherlock Holmes,

"I consider that a man's brain is originally like an empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out or jumbled with useful things."

I tell you now, that my attic has been filled with nothing but troves of knowledge dedicated to mastery of the writing craft. For me there's nothing so spectacular as creating a far-reaching story populated with living, breathing characters in a world just as alive as they are.

I've long since learned that striving for perfection is a fool's run; but striving for excellence is more easily achieved.

Now, the stuff on here is really old work and, mostly, I wrote fan-fiction to improve my writing skills. For the past year my focus has been on: improving grammar, improving sentence and paragraph structure, and world building with original projects. I haven't posted much throughout my time spent learning, but, personally, I feel like I've achieved a successful level of aptitude and I'm ready to start showing off what I can do in new projects.

If you've any interest in checking out my latest work I implore you to check out my website. There's not much on it as of yet, but I'm coming up with ways to change that in my spare time between work. My website can be found below.
