Sometimes reality has a way of shifting you so far out of focus that everything else just falls by the wayside as you struggle to relocate your guide. To all of my readers/watchers, my deepest apologies for my lengthy absence; however, simply put, this is the first opportunity I have had to reassure you that I'm still alive. Rest assured that I shall be posting updates to the majority of my fics as soon as possible, should life stay in focus. Thank you all for your kindness and patience!

Achi

The name's Achaean, but I used to write under Kalinx so expect his work to show up here. I work for Barnes & Noble as a department lead and am obsessed with reading anything with a cover and pages. I also work as a backup barista for our cafe, so am also addicted to coffee. Sleep is over-rated in my opinion, some of my best work is written on sleep deprivation. All of my writing/chapters usually have a musical theme to them, being that I'm a music nut and will listen to just about anything thrown at me.

I'd love to find a beta who enjoys my work to edit for me; catching those stupid mistakes I'll end up making.

Think that's all you'd care to know about me, onto the ---

Also, if you would like to read some of my original work, feel free to check out Achaean, over at fictionpress.com, after all, fanfic writing is a stress reliever for me.

~Note about my favorites: All fics I find to be amazing I am now placing in my C2, while the fics I still enjoy, or have not read through, but was intrigued by, are placed in my favorites.~
