Author has written 16 stories for Dark Shadows, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Secret Window, Pirates of the Caribbean, Forever Knight, Lois and Clark, and X-Men: The Movie.

I'm 26, and a graduate of the Art Institute with a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts & Animation. Now, I'm a 3D designer at a company that does 3D architectural pre-viz for clubs, gyms and studios and starting to do VFX work for indy films on the side.

As you probably figured out by now, in my spare time I dabble in writing, mostly in the realm of fan fiction, which you'll find here. Mystery, myth and adventure inspire many of my creative outlets, so you may notice I touch these genres a lot in my stories. Lots of thanks to my superb betas, Stella-Maria and Iolanthe. Their help and con-crit has made all the difference!


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling?

There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
-W. Somerset Maugham

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Here I am paying big money to you writers, and what for? All you do is change the words.
-Samuel Goldwyn

Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
-Mark Twain

"The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways."
-Gene Hackman
