Hello! I'm an novice writer and love to write fantasy and sci-fi fiction, usually with allegorical twists or undertones. I am also self-publishing them, and learning a lot from the many challenges on that road. But also enjoying the creative freedom that comes along with it.

Currently I print books for a living as a Digital printing press operator, and I see a lot of books everyday. Maybe I've worked on your book!? Its amazing what a novel goes through to be made, and its a pleasure to be a part of the process. I discover new stories, of all kinds, everyday. While Printing, binding, laminating, or all of them.

Among many little influences, the major idea came from my own struggles. The inner battle of desires of right and wrong, shame and freedom, feelings versus truth, and how love seems to pierce through it all, like the smallest light in the darkest cave.(less)

Looking for love?

I'm definitely looking for my one and only, my life companion, best friend, and wife...and I'm finding the dating world/search very difficult in many different ways...But with the search on my mind and heart, some of my favorite fictional couples from stories come to my mind and inspire me, maybe because the author's themselves had some very interesting experiences in their lives.

“I find that men as high as trees will write, dialogue-wise yet no man doth them slight. For writing so: Indeed if they abuse, truth, cursed be they, and the craft they use. To that intent; but yet let truth be free, to make her salleys upon Thee, and Me. Which way it pleases God: For who knows how, Better than he that taught us first to Plough. To guide our Mind and Pens for his Design? And he makes base things usher in Divine.”
