I'm a Canadian writer from Edmonton Alberta. I'm a self-published author focusing mostly on fantasy and poetry with a dash of nonsense in each.
I love Lewis Carroll. He and Alice have been a heavy influence on my writing.
I've often been told that my stories have a very British style about them. I'm very descriptive when it comes to places, objects and features, but I believe my strengths lie in character development.
I'm also a fan of anime and manga. I was only six years old when I first saw Sailor Moon and she's been in my heart ever since. The idea of solving problems, not through violence or physical strength but through the power of the heart was what moved me back then, and I think that's a message I'd like to express. The power of friendship (as cheesy as that might sound), love, family, hard work and belief in ones self and in others are important. Sailor Moon expresses all of these things.
I don't know if I'll ever achieve a masterpiece like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, or Sailor Moon, or anything like that, all I know is that I write every day and I couldn't stop even if I wanted to.
