My name is Paul Dinneen Chancey, but my friends call me "Big D" or "Dee".

I am from the Chicago area (more specifically the northern suburbs) and I was born in the city and lived the first six months of my life there. But my hometown is Northfield, the town that I lived in for most of my life.

My stories seem to have socio-political overtones to them.

Here's my MySpace page.

I also write on FanFiction.net.

I'd like to dedicate this section to familiarize readers with the characters of my stories. Why? I just want to.

L.A. Knight

Brian Dinneen--An extremely stressed college student at the University of Southern California. He is very big in to mythology, particularly Irish and Greek mythology. He is so stressed that he appears to be in bad health. His life is turned upside down when he finds out he is the reincarnation of two legendary Irish heroes.

Dave Horiuchi--Brian's best friend, having known Brian since they were five. He practices kendo, and his dad is teaching him to be a Shinto priest. He loves Japanese mythology.

Linda Bowen--A girl who is a friend of Brian. She loves Arthurian legend. Although she interacts with him like she is good friends with him, she has only known him since the fall. Brian seems to have a slight crush on her.

Prof. James Wessen--The very enthusiastic professor of mythology at USC.

Nick Portokalos--A guy Brian literally bumps into outside of the USC libraries. His favorite book is The Iliad, and his favorite character is Achilles.

Ralph Farley--Nick's chubby bumbling friend who reminds Brian of Chris Farley.

Marnie Hampton--A stereotypical valley girl who has a crush on Brian, much to his dismay.

Unnamed beautiful girl--A girl that dropped her purse, which Brian returned. She possesses inhuman beauty, and professes her love for Brian to his immense shock.

Old woman--A woman that Brian helped cross the street, and then defended from a mugger.

The Morrígan--Irish goddess of war, death, and fertility. She tells Brian of his destiny to save the world, and assists him in doing so.

Mike Williams and the Valentines

Mike Williams--The flat cap wearing, tough-guy bad boy guitar player for The Valentines. He is the son of a former Daytona 500 winner, and even won the Great American Race himself. When he was trying out for The Valentines, he did not know that he was trying out for them. Despite his authentic tough-guy attitude, he's a bit of a softie underneath, which his father jokes about a lot. Due to a bet, he tries to turn The Valentines into tough-as-nails rocker chicks.

Misty Palmer--The lead singer and co-founder of The Valentines. She is hopelessly romantic, much to Mike's annoyance. She is obsessed with the Twilight series, and compares Mike (unfavorably) to Edward Cullen, which drives him nuts.
