From the time I first began reading, mine has always been a mind brimming with ideas and images. As far back as books like "Arrow to the Sun" and "Greedy Zebra" I've been an avid reader. Living in the country and being limited to 6 local channels provided me with a narrow scope of animation, though, but I did not go entirely without. Some of my very first favorites included King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Sailor Moon, Transformers, Pirates of Dark Water, Gargoyles, The Adventures of Conan, and my all time favorite: Ronin Warriors. As a writer I attribute my style and inspiration heavily to two main authors: Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels for their vivid descriptions that insert you into the world, and J.R.R. Tolkien for the vast history and lore of his epic works. As a person I am friendly to those who have earned it, and very emphatic, although I am primarily introverted. My vanguard character, Tanya Sanada, is loosely based on those traits. My main works include what I call the Age of Defiance universe, thought a seperate storyline based solely on the fictional planet Thanged is currently in concept.
