Author has written 23 stories for Ninja Turtles. Hey, thanks for visiting! I'm not much for bios, but here's a little about how I got here. Right off the bat, you'll only find stories about those loveable mutants the Ninja Turtles here! I've been a TMNT fan since the old 80's cartoon, but it wasn't until the 2007 movie came out that I started thinking turtles again, and when I started watching all of the 2K3 cartoon episodes, I was hooked all over. So here I am! What I strive for in my own writing is exactly what I most like to read. Which is to say, "poetry in prose". I live for a word, or phrase, or paragraph that gives me that shiver, that lump in my throat--that image so vivid I see it perfectly in my mind's eye... I agonize over my writing (which is not to say I don't have fun with it!), and try to give those same things to my readers. That being said, of course not everything can be poetry! So the trick is to mix it in seamlessly with everything else--humor and drama and pain and joy. :) So if you read any of my stories, and you run across something that gives you a thrill, I've accomplished what I set out to do. And if you really want to make my week... tell me about it! Pura Vida, "I think this is the prettiest world - so long as you don't mind a little dying . . ." Special thanks to Mainframe for letting me use her gorgeous art as story covers for Recovery, Scars, Subtle Edge, and Interludes! See below to find out where you can see more of her artwork! Notes About My Stories: 1. Three of my works, "Bound", "Interludes", and "Preludes", are written around the same set of events, and while I think all are enjoyable when read separately, they are essentially a series. All other works are considered stand-alone, so although I occasionally draw on aspects of stories I've already written, there is no true order that needs to be followed to understand them. 2. I'm always looking to improve, so please know that constructive criticism is both welcome and appreciated - be it spelling, grammar, characterization, or anything at all. Fanart by Mainframe: The wonderfully talented Mainframe (thedyeiscast on deviantART) has posted some lovely pieces inspired by some of my stories. Below is a link to her gallery page where you will find pictures of Turtle Tot Leo 1, 2, & 3, as well as Scars and Subtle Edge. If you drop by, I'm sure she'd appreciate some feedback! http://thedyeiscast.deviantart.com/gallery/ Role Playing For a time, I played the part of Raphael in the fabulous Terrapin Tarts role-playing game, which included such stellar players as Winnychan, Tori Angeli, Aubretia Lycania, and DeeMG. It was absolutely a thrill and an honor to be part of this game and this cast. If you care to check it out, head over to http://www.terrapintarts.com/forums/ and go to the RPG section! | |||||||
