G'day, I'm a 33-year-old author from Sydney, Australia.

My interests are wide and varying. I like history, any history, especially military history (I have two older brothers - blame them). I'm interested in the American Civil War, Celtic Mythology, Classical Mythology, actually ANY mythology. I love Shakespeare. I would love to have as big an influence on the English language and literature as he has.

My favourite authors: Tom Clancy, Frederick Forsyth, James Herriot, Bill Bryson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, C.S Lewis, Marion Zimmer Bradley.

My favourite books: The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S Lewis, The Hound of the Baskervilles - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Icon -Frederick Forsyth, The Fist of God- Frederick Forsyth, The Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley, Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy, Schindler's List - Thomas Keneally, The Killer Angels - Michael Shaara, The Fifth Horseman - Dominique La Pierre & Larry Collins.

My favourite animes: Pokemon, Ranma 1/2, Slayers, Juuni Kokki (Twelve Kingdoms).

I can be contacted on either MSN with phquan74@ or on AIM with TrishHQ74.
