Author has written 12 stories for Action, War, Life, Mystery, and General.

I've recently been absent from the site for a few weeks and haven't updated anything. I'm back, and I've updated Pride, Power and Purity with a new chapter but don't expect my updates to be regular.

The Rat House is on hiatus.

Pride, Power and Purity is discontinued.

I like to write fantasy and a bit of action, focused on war and special operations. Inspired primarily by authors Garth Nix, JK Rowling, JRR Tolkein, Christopher Poalini, Ernest Hemingway, Jack London and Arthur Conan Doyle. And Terry Pratchett - all of the Discworld books are great. I also write poetry.

Some of the best stuff I've come across:

The Great Character Tutorial and other tutorials by CalliSribbles

Mother of Learning by nobody 103

Wind Warrior by Ulquiorra9000

Lots of stuff by JohnWestcott

And lots of stuff from Jave Harron

Fantasy Parodies by Lccorp 2

and Escaping the Game by GreenBamboo


1. Pride, Power, and Purity
"A sign, fallen from its post and half-buried in mud proclaimed: HARTHAD. PRIDE, POWER AND PURITY" A dying town; enslaved by the Ideal Masters and cowed by the Syndicate, populated by disease-ridden, starving, desperate people; the scene of an epic tale - a tale of oppression, revenge, and redemption, that speaks for one man but echoes for the whole of humanity.

2. That Fleeting Glory
As dawn breaks we begin a new story, As the night bleeds we raise the Voice in calling. The Legion rises, cries of despair sounding, Their former comrades through the wails rising, On the wings of that fleeting glory.
