So, I've been cleaning things out again, and not only have I removed all of my Myaniscarr stories, I have also posted a new story. Well, not really, I've just made a new story that I've re-posted all of my Trinity short pieces into, so that they're all nice and neatly in one place. Yeah, I'm weird. Also, a new story idea has been added to my Projects section. Yay!

Who Am I:

I'm a compulsive reader and writer, who is more of a writer than a reader these days. I also dabble in art, am an avid collector of music, I have a black belt in Taekwondo, and I have a weak spot for ice cream. I've also been called Obsessive Compulsive by my friends, due to my obsession with alphabetising things, and my obsessive way of organising things. I can be overly sarcastic and cynical at times, but am actually quite a nice and loyal person. I'm a brilliant liar, but I'm also brutally honest and I'm not afraid to stand up to people. I can't stand the cold, yet hate too much heat, I think penguins are evil and manipulative, and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing pink. My Apple laptop is my baby, and so is my little Holden car, and I have a nasty habit of thinking out loud. I hate the radio, I think TV is getting worse, and books don't get enough attention. You can tell I'm really mad or scared when I swear, because normally I don't, and I hate it when people insist on using bad language. If you've read through all of that, you may think I'm a bit of a weirdo, and a walking contradiction. Don't worry, I do too.

Future/Current Projects:

1 - The Mortal Curse. This is a maybe-maybe not sequel to The Immortal Strain, and I've been tossing the idea around for a while now. It would see Azaelee/Sarah losing her powers as a Reaper, having her relationship with Brendan-the-Guardian tested, and possibly the fallout from the events of the first story. Don't know yet, haven't worked too much out, but it is something that I'm thinking of doing.

Trinity:

Trinity is my major project, and although you will find many short stories here that belong to this universe, you will not find the full story itself. At the present point in time, I am working out the details of the third draft of this manuscript, and I am not sharing, so please do not ask me if you can read any of it! I am sharing my short stories, simply because they are not a part of the larger book, and they are characters that I love to write about, and love to get feedback on. For more information on this book, please visit my website by using the 'Homepage' link at the top of this profile. Thanks!
