I read mostly fantasy, suspense/mystery, sci fi and some literary, so long as there's some sort of supernatural component.
I have very wide-ranging interests, from travel to the occult and almost everything in-between. I like conspiracy theories too, though I don't believe very many of them. As for writing, I've experimented with several different genres. The story and characters are what's most important to me and my tastes are fairly broad.
On here I plan to post mostly older stuff that's been pretty much shelved, while I pitch newer stuff to agents, etc.
My most ambitious work is a series, of which I've begun book one, and have nearly completed book two. I follow the main character from high school and her introduction to a mystery school that tries to initiate her. In the second book, she learns they may be behind a series of ritual murders, and they are trying to pin them on a man she's fallen in love with. In the third book the world he's actually from gets introduced.
I'm planning to self-publish one novel I recently completed, that I'd started several years ago. Right now I'm still working on the cover, so it isn't ready quite yet. It's about a fortune teller who is invited to perform a séance, only unbeknownst to her, it's a set up by someone who hosts an online program similar to Mythbusters or Penn & Teller's BS. To complicate things even further, they're both attracted to each other. When she discovers his real intent, she kinda-sorta by accident summons a real demonic entity that they all have to contend with.
For now this is an experiment for me. I've tried blogging (what I've posted first is already on my wordpress site) and am trying to become more disciplined about it.
