I live in Minnesota, have a Liberal Arts degree, and when I'm not reading or watching a movie, I'm probably cooped up somewhere with black coffee, writing. I have a lot of different influences, a lot of which are classic authors (I'm bad at keeping up with modern fiction). I like stories that are entertaining, but also thought provoking, intellectual, and try to reach you at a deeper, emotional level. So, with that said, I try to bring that to my own writing as well. I really hope you enjoy something of mine, and if you do please feel free to let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.

I think most authors are petrified that their writing is going to be bad, especially on the first go around, and can't get past it. Once you stop caring about whether or not your writing is bad, writer's block will have very little power of you.(less)

I enjoy playing with language and trying to create beautiful worlds, characters, and stories. It's all very cathartic and fun. (less)

“What would any of us be without choice? But, remember this, fear and faith are two brothers forever entwined, and there’s no telling what outcome they will produce.”
Emory Skwara, Numinous

“Happiness is not only a hope, but also in some strange manner a memory ... we are all kings in exile.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Thing: Why I am a Catholic
