Author has written 26 stories for Supernatural, General, Humor, Fantasy, Humor, Family, Friendship, Life, Song, General, Nature, and Romance.

Hello, hello! My name is Mervyn Rhys, and I will be your tour guide for today! Most of what you'll find here is small, random thoughts masquerading as poetry in some form or another--all of it is the result of my having fun.

If you like what you find here, I also live at FanFiction.Net as Rhya Stormbringer. Most of my longer works tend to wind up there, but some are very old and/or highly experimental. Go have fun!


A few random facts:

I collect model horses, books, stickers, funky beads, quotes, and random trivia/historical facts.

I am slightly insane, and come from a family with a history of mental instability.

My hair is copper-red. And curly. And my eyes are grey-green.

I am Scottish, French, and German, but mostly Scottish, and a proud American citizen.

I hate milk.


"The cloning of humans is on most lists of things to worry about from Sciences, along with behavior control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry, and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers." -Lewis Thomas

"Sometimes the mind, for reasons we don't necessarily understand, just decides to go to the store for a quart of milk." -Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

"Sometimes I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe." -Anonymous


... you actually read the author's note? What planet are you from? I applaud thee.
