Between school, work, and other responsibilities, I am working a few novels that will hopefully be ready for beta in a few months. In the mean time, I will post two extemporaneous lines of thought I jotted down a few years ago. 

As for writing style, in enjoy authors who aren't afraid to monolog a bit, if they're giving historical information. Two who did this are Tom Clancy and Louis L'Amour. But to be honest, I've become addicted to the works of Sherrilyn Kenyon. It's a trap to start her books.
