Author has written 32 stories for Religion, Essay, Love, Historical, Nature, War, Life, Spiritual, Family, General, Politics, School, and Fantasy. I'm a young college student living in New England, currently attending university and working towards a Sociology degree and a Philosophy minor. I have been writing for most of my life, in both poetry and in short fiction. I generally write adventure and personal relationship stories, and enjoy delving into characters' psychology and interactions. Hamon is my main project at the moment, and it has existed in various forms for several years, a few of which have been on this site. I update it periodically and may occasionally redo old chapters, so it's very much a work in progress. ~AA | |||||||||||
