I am 23 years old and have been writing on and off (mostly off) for a few years now. It's only the last year or so that I have become more serious about my writing and finally finished up a full draft of my first novel in my Elementi Series. Now, I am working on the second and I should have a complete draft sometime in November. Afterward, I will move on to the third and (perhaps) final novel in the series (the third book will wrap up the plot, but leave an opening to continue if I choose to do so at some later time). Below is a quick blurb for both fantasy novels. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To protect my work, I have removed all but my first chapters from FictionPress. They can now only be read on my site. To do that, just register on my forum (it will only take a minute). REGISTER HERE Sorry for the inconvenience. On the bright side, registering on my forum will gain you access to many things, like a forum arcade with over 80 games, the ability to comment and rate photos in the gallery and even make your own (private or public) photo album, post on the forum, talk in the chat room, view my novels (of course), and lots more.

For those who I'm following here, don't worry, I still will! And I hope those following me will continue to read my work from my site.

Here's a blurb for Foreseen:

Kari knows she’s different, but she has no clue that she’s an Elementi and is capable of much more than she realizes. Edan, a powerful dream-maker who was denied everything he considered rightfully his, tracks down a powerful talisman, leading him straight to Kari. She is forced to flee from her home after Edan sends men to retrieve the talisman—through any means necessary.

Now away from home and in the middle of something she doesn’t understand, Kari searches for the answers to what she really is, and in the process finds out more than she bargained for. The Ultors, a group formed to extract revenge on all Elementi after a tragedy twenty years before, track Kari through Maharan in attempt to destroy her and anyone that gets in their way.

Despite Kari’s efforts, Edan seizes the talisman and she’s left with only a book, written in an ancient text, to help stop him. With only a small chance that anyone alive might know the dialect, Kari and her companions travel north to the Amplus Mountains to find them.

If she fails to find the answers, there is no hope of survival—for anyone.

Here's a blurb for The Dark Within:

Onispela is the ruler of a dying land. In order to survive, he must lead his people from their homeland to another continent. The only problem is, Maharan is a land which is already occupied. With not enough resources or land for both their people, Onispela has no choice but to make room for his own.

Kari is an Elementi, who is still developing her powers. While visiting an island off the coast of Maharan where most of her kind resides, the island is attacked. Kari and her companions are charged with the task of warning others. At first no one heeds their warning, but soon all of Maharan is trembling from thousands of foreign boots on their soil.

Kari and her companions will not let the people of Maharan be exterminated without a fight. But it is not long before they learn, by a friend revealing his own dark secret, that the enemy's ruler has the advantage. With over nine-hundred years of experience and an unnaturally quick healing ability, Kari knows that the hardships of the months before were nothing compared to what she will face in the months ahead.
