Stories:

I mostly only write for Young Wizards and Kushiel's Legacy, but I am working on ideas for other sections as well. Right now "The Darkness Closing In" is my main project, but I plan to do a major review of "Unexpected Consequences" over spring break. Then, I will (hopefully) continue and finish the story, but not untill "TDCI" is finished.

Favorite Quotes:

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist…Alas! how dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence." ~part of the "Dear Virginia Letter" the reponse to Virginia O'Hanlon, when she sent a letter to the editor of the NY Sun askng if Santa really existed.

Hold on to the people you are close to, and love them fiercely. Get up every morning and live like there is no tommorow. Because one day you'll find it's true." ~Chuck Pfarrer in his memoir "Warrior Soul"

“Considerate meant deferential. Respect was obedient. Polite was silent. ‘No one likes a know-it-all,’ we were told. And so we acted as if we knew nothing at all.”- Journalist Connie Schultz on manners taught to women in the mid-1900s.
