"O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention" -Henry V, Shakespeare

I am a member of the United States Armed Forces, particularly with the Air Defense Artillery- and I love fantasy fiction. I have been writing such plethora for the measure of about 12 years, mostly with the intent on creating my own interpretation of the universe within the Legend of Zelda-verse: it is my pride and joy, and my happiest escape. It is, as well, the Tao with which I express my knowledge and philosophies, and its through the characters in this world that I attempt to display those themes and stories that are not just entertaining but humbling to the human experience. As you see, my intent is to take the reader on a ride with these characters as they triumph and fail and overcome the challenges plaguing their existence-- as they do ours.

Please take into account, I am very busy keeping the skies safe for my country, so if my participation is limited then it is partly due to my service. If not, it's probably because of my Muse. She's a fickle thing.

I am also a passionate martial artist, I train something every day. I read philosophy that goes from the secular to non-secular, whether it be Christian or not, most particularly to those Asian philosophies. I am currently studying Buddhism and Taoism. I read Lao-Tzu, Musashi, Alan Watts, the Greek and Roman classics (from Plato to Aristophanes, haha!), Kant, Sartre, etc.

Also, video games. They're amazing!

Thank you, and enjoy reading and writing: your amusement is my pleasure!
