Born and raised to religious zealots in the Pacific Northwest; I escaped with naught but my imagination. With that, I enjoy drawing, reading and writing. No genre is superior, truly. Though, its fair to say I gravitate towards almost anything fantasy. Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner, Grey,Tolkien, Stoppard, Rowling, Hobb, Martin, Lynch and Rothfuss are a few of my heroes. Aside from reading, I can't say no to a nice romp in the park, especially if said romp involves a good sword fight. It is my dream to take a ride with the Doctor. In the real world though, I'll settle for just finishing my novels and having somebody say they enjoyed reading them.
