Author has written 21 stories for Dark Shadows, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Secret Window, Pirates of the Caribbean, Forever Knight, Lois and Clark, X-Men: The Movie, Van Helsing, and House, M.D.. I'm 28, and a design visualization specialist at a civil engineering firm creating 3D visualizations and motion graphics. I've also done VFX work for a couple feature length indy films which is always fun! Besides writing and 3D, I have a love of paleontology and started taking classes to get my certification in 2010. In my spare time I dabble with writing, which you'll find here. Mystery, myth, history 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, Iolanthe and MidLifeCrisis. Their help and con-crit in my weird collection of fandoms has made all the difference! I try to split my spare time pretty evenly between 3D creations and writing, so if I haven't written or updated in a while I'm probably engaged in more visual forms at the moment, or life's gotten busy! I'll get back to a story eventually, even if it's been a long while. :) 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 "The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways." 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. “It’s good that you feel bad,’ she said, after some thought. Not much thought, obviously, but some. ‘If you felt nothing, it would mean there is no love, no passion. And we are nothing without passion.” | |||||||
