Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am currently 20 years young. My main interests include creative writing (fiction), drawing, and playing online games.

I am working on many different novel-length projects, with one completed and going through rewrite phases, and many others on the grinder. :-) I write exclusively in the YA Fantasy genre.

As for drawing, I like to draw cute animals, working mainly in a cartoon style. My work is digital, and uses Photoshop or Sai for CGing. I specialize in wolves, dragons, and cats. I typically draw for "pet site" genre websites.
