About My Writing:

I have been writing fiction for almost ten years; I primarily write crime fiction and fantasy. I do not write vampire fiction beyond Every You Every Me, and I don't particularly like to read it. I think too many young writers try to write their own version of Twilight, which are neither interesting nor a true display of their talents (in most cases). I encourage all writers to put your creative talents to good use by writing great original fiction.

Please comment! I love comments and some criticism, just no terrible flames, please!

Stories - Currently Writing

BloodLust: BloodLust is the story of a teenage girl who, having survived a car accident that claimed the life of her bestfriend, begins to hear disembodied voices and see independantly moving shadows. The shadows take shape over time to become twin shadow wraiths that press her to committ horrifying crimes to satisfy their thirst for blood. BloodLust began as my NANOWRIMO project for 2008, so most of what I've been posting was written back then. I have absolutely fallen in love with the twins, Christian and Bishop, and must admit that they have inspired a lot of other characters. Where this story is going? Murders, love interests, asylums, and beautiful twin guys. I won't give it all away!

The Forsaking of AnnaSophia: Anna-Sophia Parr has grown up haunted by one sunny afternoon in her grandfather's backyard, when a mysterious creature dragged her into the woods and stole a year of her life. Now, eight years later, Anna returns to her grandfather's to face the force that still stalks her dreams nightly. The Forsaking of AnnaSophia is my most recent original work, inspired by a dream. I'm excited to write more, if I can ever find the time. Where this story is going? Think a forest full of secrets, the secret of the year Anna can't remember, a dark family history and small boys named Warren and Leone (pronounced Lay-Own).

Student Killers: A disease affecting impulse control has infected the unborn children of pregnant mothers. Now, years into the future, some children have becoming coldblooded killers with no ability to control their impulsive rage. A psychologist believes that the assimilation of these student killers into a private school with regular students will rehabilitate them. His mistakes will be deadly. Where this story is going? Now that the first two chapters have developed the premises, we can get into student life itself and experience some real horror. Murders and lust and teenage hijinx galore.
