I have thought long and hard about what to put as my bio. Usually, a bio reveals some details of a person’s life. But honestly, those details would be meaningless to you, because we will never know each other. Except for that brief moment when our imaginations touch. As you read my stories, it is almost as if we are talking, you and I. Not in person, or with words or even thoughts. But our dreams will share, for the briefest time, a similar image as they look on other worlds. So what use then, is a bio? You do not need to know who I am, where I have lived or even where I find inspiration. Instead you will learn far more about me, and far more intimately as our dreams touch, than cold hard words lost in the folds of the internet. As you read these few short paragraphs, take then this one warning with you: My stories are not mine. I am just the window into other people’s, other worlds, other universes’ lives. And as all life, they are not always happy. Instead, there will often be a thread of madness running through them. Because life has little rhyme or reason.

It was a beautiful lake. The water was cool and deep, there were sandy beaches backed by soft grass, a perfect environment for a swan. She could transform to her human form without any worries of being spotted, since the lake was surrounded by thick forests. She had left the flock to venture to this lake, even though it stood in the shadow of the Flugel’s mountain. Everyone feared him, the greatest of the mythic monsters, strong in body and in magic, his great black wings bringing terror to anyone who saw them.

Which is why she was alone at this enchanting location. All the other swans were too timid to venture here and risk seeing
