My pen name is Z.N. Singer. My full, original hebrew name is most likely beyond most of you, I don't use it much except amongst my more conservative friends (I am Orthodox Jewish). You can find out how I'm called casually when I know you.

Some basics: I'm male, twenty-six (for now - it keeps changing), living in U.S. Ohio. A native english speaker. I carry an Associates Degree in Graphic Design, which I now doubt I will apply. I am a proud student at the Cleveland Institute of Art where I am working towards a Bachelors in Interior Design. My fandoms are pretty much entirely in anime - I don't own a television, watch very few movies, and simply don't think that way about books (though I am a long time, heavy duty reader).

I originally intended to abandon the fanfiction world entirely after completing Fate/Spiral Time. Writing it reminded me of all the things writing meant to me, and most importantly that I simply could not be satisfied just writing with other people's ideas. I have a need to make my name known for my own work. It also proved to me that I now have what it takes to see a novel length work through, and that I am ready to break in. Right now that's still the case, but there is always the chance I will come back for a short while - I still have many ideas bouncing around in my head. But for now, think of me as someone you know is promising - and watch for my name on bookshelves and e-book sites. It's already there.

All of my writing can be read on my site, including two of my original short stories - the other three can be downloaded at Smashwords and Barnes and Noble in the form of my fantasy anthology, For the Last Time and Other Tales (Z.N. Singer is my pen name no matter where and in what form I write). You can also read various entries discussing the details of my new fantasy universe. I am also on Fictionpress under the same pen name, where you can read my novel in progress and comment on that.

Present fanfiction in semi-progress: End of the Beginning, now renamed Fighting for Your Life, with what was once the story entire now the prologue. However, progress will be slow: College keeps me very busy, and writing my novel comes first. You're better off following my progress as a proper fantasy writer.
