Hey,

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm 26 and enjoy reading/writing fanficiton when I can find the time. I'm the type of person who gets really into one show at a time. When I first found this site, I was really into Stargate SG-1 and still read some of those on occasion but now, I'm really into The Mentalist. It's really the only tv show I regularly watch so I'm hoping it lasts forever (though I know that's not possible). I'm a real angst junkie but if you've read my stuff, I typically like things to work out in the end.

I'm kind of a read-aholic. These authors are some of my favorites and have inspired me to write.

Ted Dekker - My favorite author. His ability to draw you into a story and make you feel like you're a part of the world he has created is a gift. My all time favorite book is actually a series of books called "The Circle" (Black, Red, White). From the very beginning the reader is captivated by the story of a man, Thomas who is being chased down the streets of Denver by a group of unknown thugs. When Thomas is injured by said thugs, he awakens to find himself in another world. From then on, when he falls asleep in one world, he wakes up back in the other. Both the real world and Tomas' dreamed reality have stories to tell and evil to conquer. Pick up those books and I promise you'll be sucked in. The fun part is the rest of Dekker's books often have a connection to those first three. Sometimes, it's a very small connection but other times it's a very big, direct connection.

Gregg Hurwitz - He's a fairly new thriller author with a serious talent for writing. His stories are full of exciting twists and turns that leave you wanting more. My favorite book by him so far is "The Survivor". It's a gripping tale of a ex soldier suffering from PTSD among other things. He accidentally gets himself tangled in with some seriously bad dudes. This is a story about family, about being a father and what one person will do to protect that family. This book effected me so much that I had to take a month-long break from reading while I processed/recovered from this one. "We're watching" and "You're Next" are also fantastic novels by Hurwitz.

Harlan Coben - Known for his Myron Bolitar series, Harlan Coben is another talented mystery/thriller writer. While I enjoy the Myron series (Win is pretty much the best fictional character ever), I also really enjoy his stand alone novels like "Caught" and "Tell No One". Coben likes to break the main character's heart and then dangle it in front of them just out of reach until the very end of the book. His most impressive novel IMO, is "Play Dead" which is a gripping and heartbreaking tale but the real killer (pun intended) is that Coben wrote this amazing novel when he was 24! I might be a little jealous.

Favorite Lyrics:

"And Ive lost who I am
And I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Life-Less words
Carry on
But i know
All i know
Is that the ends beginning
Who I am from the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me go
And I will run
I will not be silenced
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years
Wasted gain
All is lost
Hope remains
And this war's not over
Theres a light
Theres the sun
Taking all the shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer" -Shattered (Trading Yesterday)

"This is your time
This is your dance
Live every moment
Leave nothing to chance" - This Is Your Time (Michael W. Smith)

"Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades" -From the Inside Out (Hillsong)

"Life's like an hourglass glued to the table..."

Favorite Quotes: (some serious but most are not..)

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."? Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ESV

Jane -I take this nap for freedom, Lisbon. For every little guy who has a dream.
Lisbon - Nap later. Now we fight crime.

House: You did it, didn't you? You kissed her.
Dr. Chase: It...it wasn't sick. It was one kiss for a dying girl! One small...one small kiss before she dies. (Foreman and Cameron turn away shocked) Thank you.
House: That's exactly why you can't touch my markers!

"So I take it you don't want to hear my plan. No i don't wanna hear your plan, sheep dip your plan!" - Jane (imitating Lisbon)
