Writings: I started my first story on this site called, Even If. Basically, it is a coming of age story about a 15 year old named Riame who is at the center of the prophecy of her village. Aided by her two best friends, Teski and Kei, Riame must discover the secrets surrounding her pendant and protect her village and ultimately the world from "a certain disaster." (THIS STORY HAS NOW BEEN DISCONTINUED)

The story I am now writing is called Like This. It's about a girl named Krys wrestling with emotions that she has for her best guy friends in a way that could change their relationships and potentially their lives forever.

How I integrate Christianity into my writings:

Wow, this is a mouthful. I know christianity isn't pantheistic, but I can see a little bit of God in everything. Just because I don't go around putting the word God in my works (though I definately don't see anything wrong in doing so) doesn't make it any less Christian than anyone elses. My stories are more Christian themed if anything like self sacrificing love. I try to avoid cursing where possible. However if the situation merits, I might use mild execrations (hell, damn etc.) If this causes any one to stumble, I apologize.

Favorite Scriptures: "Because you are precious and honored in my sight, I will give men in exchange for you and people in exchange for your life." Isaiah 43:4

"Here is my final conclusion. Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person." Ecclesiastes 12:13

"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."

Feel free to constructively criticize my work, I want to improve!!
