Some Excerpts

I would be a bard each and every time if I had the chance to do it over. Writing is an innate part of who I am, which is really just a poor vessel of my muse. If I go even a few days without writing something, I can literally feel the little neurons in my brain clogging up from inactivity. Writing is like breathing, I have to do it to survive.

I think censorship is a fine line to walk between not stifling creative potential and the societal need to regulate just what is too much. The lines which divide porn from erotica, art from exploitation and opinion from hate are so minuscule I doubt the argument will ever be put to rest. I am a firm believer in an informed and consenting consumer, one who makes the choice of censoring their own life from the things they know they will find offensive. We are a world society of individuals who need to take responsibility for ourselves. I know that some may find the stories I write violently too graphic or disturbing, but I am the first to make sure the content of my writings is disclaimed and would be the first one to encourage someone who didn't enjoy that genre to read something else.

[Xena] has been like a good friend. There when you need it, able to change and adapt with whatever mood you were in and always willing to entertain. It has meant really coming to believe in my writing as more and more people commented on the stories I had posted.
