I've been with Dargonzine a few years now, so it seemed the time was right to finally update my bio page. In the years I've spent with the Dargon Project my writing skills have been increased immensley. With my dream of being published in print one day still in mind, I hope to hone those skills further here.

I don't have a lot of philosophical thoughts about writing to share with you. However, in my writing I always try to have some sort of moral theme. For myself, I view writing as a way of entertaining people but also of getting them to think. I hope I am successful and I hope people have found my stories thought provoking even if they don't agree with some of my ideas. Being a traditionalist Catholic is a big part of my life, and as such, you'll probably see a religious flavour to most of my stories, especially the recent ones. If anyone wonders how someone that adheres to a strict faith can reconcile that with writing fantasy, keep in mind that J.R.R. Tolkein (arguably the father of fantasy fiction as we know it) was also a traditionalist Catholic!

Unfortunately, the requirements of law school and articling with a law firm haven't left me with the kind of time for writing that I'd like, but I hope that I may soon become more productive again.
