Author has written 13 stories for Baldur's Gate, Star Wars, Valdemar universe, Neverwinter Nights, and Forgotten Realms. When writing is going well, it’s like reaching up and pulling fire down from heaven. It’s better than any dope you can buy. When it’s not going well, it’s much like giving birth to a baby elephant. - David Eddings, The Rivan Codex Still writing, but starting to spend more time on my original stuff, and maybe thinking about submitting something to a publisher at some point. The fanfics are still buzzing around in my head, so I'll be staying with them, but updates will be slow in coming. Most of my fanfics, along with some of my original work and that of a number of extremely talented artists and writers can be found at www.petalsandthorns.com, a forum by and for female gamers (though we do welcome guys, as well). It's also the site where I'm beta testing my Valen Shadowbreath mod for BG2; should have an update for that ready to be released in the next couple of weeks. Favorite authors: David Eddings – Just about anything he writes, although the Belgariad and the Malloreon series are my favorites. Reading his books is, for me, like sitting by a fire chatting with old friends. Tolkien – Tried to read LOTR when I was twelve, got bogged down, put it away and didn’t pick it back up again until last year. Now I am just in awe; the man was an unparalleled wordsmith, able to harness the English language in ways that mere mortals can only dream of imitating. C.S. Lewis – Another wordsmith, and a friend of Tolkien. The Chronicles of Narnia is great, but if you really want to see the English language at its finest, read The Screwtape Letters. Then, after you have read it, go find the audiobook version (unabridged, please) read by John Cleese. Gael Baudino – The Dragonsword trilogy and Gossamer Axe are not your standard fantasy fare, but they are well written and the themes of friendship and caring are woven beautifully throughout. Dean Koontz – He’s generally classified as a horror writer, but his stories really defy genre descriptions. As with most of the authors I like, his stories tend to center on groups of people who care about each other. Koontz generally pits them against shadowy government agencies and scientific discoveries gone awry. Start with Strangers, then Watchers. Then just keep going. Currently Reading: A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin - He's been recommended often enough by the crew at P&T that I decided to give him a try. Only a few chapters in, but I'm already impressed by the obvious care he's put into building the world his characters reside in, and its history. I look forward to seeing how he will be tying together the multiple plot lines he has already laid out. The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution, Linda Monk - I'm a history buff, and the author weaves a great deal of fascinating historical context, examples and quotes into her discussion of the meaning behind the sometimes archaic language of the US Constitution. | |||||||
