Writing

Writing is my life, my passion, my raison d'être and sine qua non. I write a wide range of fiction: realism, science fiction and fantasy, erotica, fairy tales, magical realism, political drama, and poetry. I've ghostwritten 5 novels and in my own right published a novel, 2 novellas, 6 short stories, and 3 academic papers. I'm currently working on a literary love story, a ghost-written novel, and 2 collections of poetry. This is a small taster of my writing. (If you're a writer looking for resources, ideas, or editing, check For Writers.)

"I am alone on the battlefield, on the great plain. The angry sun is setting. At the foothills, my dark-cloaked troops are ranged; they bear me up with their prayers; they know that I am wounded, although I won. I won. I am Ia the Accursed."
from the Tales of Nebritskia

"I’ve said I sneer at love — I do;
I’ve said I hate you — also true.
But I’d say all with less ado,
Were I not still in love, with you."

To everything but the need to fly
Unswerving towards the shining tie..."
