Author has written 11 stories for Elder Scroll series, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.

Hello there. I am an avid fan of the Elder Scrolls series, and as such my first story I wrote was "The Nerevarine's Return." It is about the Nerevarine (playable character from Morrowind, for those of you not aware) becoming involved with the Dragon Crisis and falling in love with the Dragonborn. I also have a prequel to it called "The Son of Hircine" starring Kole, Harbinger of the Companions and one of the main characters from "The Nerevarine's Return." Should you have any questions of any type, feel free to private message me or ask it in a review on either of my stories. I try to respond as soon as I can, and since I'm on this website at least once a day, you should get your answer relatively soon.

Well, that's about it. Enjoy! If you think my profile is a little short on words, then I've achieved my mission. Too many profiles have WAY too much to scroll through to see their stories, and I do not want to be one of them.
