Hey everyone.

I was previously known as Whispers of the Wanderer but I felt my comeback warranted a name change. I am also on tumblr as the same url/penname.

My actual name is Salem. I apologize for being gone so long but I feel as though I am ready to come back! I have a brand new story I am working on. SO please read, and, as always, review and I hope you enjoy!

-I will always reply to your comments, and feel free to private message me about wanting to beta my stories or if you want me to read any of yours.

Things you should know about my writing: I tend to be very dark. I do, on a very rare occasion, use adult language and/or situations in my poems and/or stories. I extremely appreciate anyone who takes the time to review my work. It's an honor to get comments on how to improve.

New/favorite pieces you should look at (P for poems, S for Story):

Favorite Quotes of the Week:

You've got to be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?
