INTRO

Well, the bio above basically gives you the basics me. For the most part, I'm just your run of the mill guy who occasionally writes a few pieces of fan fiction, usually in the game genres. Started my entire endeavor writing MOH stories, but I've been branching out into more modern or esoteric stuff, like Halo or Freedom Fighters. The writing bursts are on-again, off-again, so I can't promise updates on anything approaching a regular basis. I've read just about anything and everything, from The Iliad to the Divine Comedy, from Last of the Mohicans to Harry Potter; basically, anything I lay my eyes on. If you want someone to perform a once-over for your writing, I'd be more than happy to give it a go.

Also, a note about some of the references that may pop up in my writing: I was recently commissioned an officer in the US Army, and so there will be some very unusual and in-depth analyses of some military elements in later stories. That, and the typical humor my section, or 'shop' displays.

QUOTES From movies, books, TV shows, and, of course, my shop.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Untitled Project: A Jormungand project examining an AU: What if Koko had an intelligence officer aside from Tojo on her staff, and who convinced her, ever so gradually, to divert from her goals? What would the world look like?

Through a Glass Darkly is on indefinite hiatus, pending time to actually work on it. I may start another project on a totally different tack.

-My Endwar short story, focusing on the experiences of American and Euro troops in the Fall of Moscow, 2023. Might lead to an EndWar series
--11/15/10: "The Three Block War" was a one-shot. Will update at earliest opportunity to reflect that

-My Freedom Fighters story, focusing upon a high-school student who becomes an accomplished sniper, and must balance love, war, and school in order to survive.
--11/15/10: "Courer de Bois" is on hold, pending further inspiration and revision. It's bogging down in the details.
