Author has written 10 stories for Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XII, and Final Fantasy VIII.

It's 2020 and being locked up in my house has inspired me to write again. My fiction of choice has always been Final Fantasy and with the remake out and about now, it's provided a new spark of inspiration.

My work will likely continue to reflect the original canon (Final Fantasy VII related work) due to the fact that the remake is not complete. Hopefully I can get myself to accomplish my goal in finishing "Boys Don't Cry" - a multi-chapter piece that's been in production since 2006 (I'm just as bad as Square Enix). To anyone who has stuck with this story, you have my sincere gratitude and humble apologies for making you wait so long.

Feel free to drop me a line any time. Thank you for your time.
