I've always been a reader and now it's my turn to be a writer. The only thing that binds my work together is a love of the unreal and the impossible.In between struggling to make my word quota each day, I enjoy procrastinating on the internet. So endless... so easy!My short attention span leads to more short works but you'll find everything from tiny stories to proper novels and I hope that you'll enjoy some.

"I am but the White moon of the sky

And no powers to change this have I.

But there is one thing you can do, by no half measures or thirds,"

And reluctant though I was to part with my words,
