Author has written 48 stories for General, General, Love, School, Play, Young Adult, Life, Humor, and Romance.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Albert Einstein

Me in Two Sentences

Show me someone who is intolerant of other people, and I'll show you someone about to get his/her butt kicked by an 22-year-old university student who's not afraid to fight for what's right.

Updates, and/or Life

07-03-06

Apologies for the ficspam, anyone who has me on Author Alert. Whoops ... But for those who don't follow my storyblog on LJ, hey! There are 9 new stories to read ...

In other news, I'm working on what will actually be #5 in the actual series, a mini-trilogy supplanting World's Away (chronologically speaking); the facetious title is "The Adopt-a-Robbie Saga". Part one is actually entitled "When Astronauts get Carsick" (the temporary working title for the entire piece), and parts two and three are as yet unnamed. But I'm getting there. Projected length: long-ish. Part 1 is 10,000 words.
