About my writing:
I don't write happy things. (Sorry not sorry.) General fiction, fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi, and religious fiction are my primary genres. You will find mainly General Fiction here for now.
I am an adult, and thus write explicit material. Most--if not all--of my stories will have content warnings. I also am proudly bisexual, and my stories include LGBTQ characters. If you're not okay with that, this place is not for you. 🏳️🌈
Authors I adore and look up to, just to name a few:
Oscar Wilde
Tolkien
Edgar Allen Poe
Mary Shelley
Madeleine L'Engle
Anne Rice
C.S. Lewis
Neil Gaiman
Elizabeth Haydon
William Gibson
Stephen King
Patrick Rothfuss
George Orwell
Ken Kelsey
J.D. Salinger
I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I'll kick myself later.
EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET BRAM STOKER?! *kicks self* (See? I told you.)
About Me and Why I Write:
I have been writing since the 3rd grade. My first true love of books came from R.L. Stein, specifically his Goosebumps book Ghost Beach. I felt afraid as I read that book, and I was astounded that ink on a page could evoke emotion.
From that day forward I've been writing. My dream throughout life has been to be published. Fame doesn't intrigue me. While becoming a best-selling author would be nice (and the money that came with it!), I doubt that would happen.
My happiness is derived from the thought of making people feel something from my writing. It doesn't matter what--happiness, sadness. So long as I can do what R.L. Stein and countless other authors have done...If I can move someone to tears, or make them think of a memory, or show them something they've never thought of before...If I can capture someone's attention and hold it, and it's a good thing, then...
I've achieved my dream.
Thank you, and enjoy.
