Author has written 46 stories for Final Fantasy VII, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Bouncer, Final Fantasy X-overs, and Gungrave.

Ten years. Ten years, y'all.


From a 1995 conversation between Bill Moyers and poet Carolyn Forché:

Moyers: The Colonel, what happened to him?
Forché: He's dead.
Moyers: The victims?
Forché: Dead.
Moyers: But the poem survived, so for whatever consolation it is, memory has a chance.
Forché: Yes. That's the hope.
