SFF Info.
I joined this site after finding it one day on the main Inheritance site...This January 10 will be the marker of my third year on SFF.
News
I'm participating in 2009's NaNoWriMo! NOTE: I've offically decided to scrap my 2044 and Expected ideas. Expected will come, though at a later date, as will an new losely titled The Conflict of the School and the Street. For hidden reasons, these works will crop up at a later date. ;)
Privlages
This past summer I've managed to turn over two new leaves. I'm proud to announce that in July '09 Opperation Escape was awarded featured fiction, which is a great honor. I still think that getting featured for the very first time on this site is very cool. In late August I was told, via email, that I had recieved the privlege of getting Validated. (This means that you can post a story or whatever and it'll go right through the queue. You don't have to wait. Most importantly, this is also a very big honor. Not very many get the privilage to be Validated.) Both said leaves are very cool.
About Me
I love reading and writing and have been doing both since childhood. My favorite thing to write is fiction. (Since a fellow author on this site--Ceranthor--said I should do fanfiction, I just might. If I do, well, I want to write about Brom. There aren't enough stories about him on this site anyway.) I also write poems. Right now, that's my strong point. Still, I am trying to improve my novels with every one I write.
Don't ask me anything personal. I refuse to answer that. Why? Because...from now on, I'm playin' it safe.
Recommendations Among my Novels
I would recommend reading Operation Escape (which is a single story). I think that my writing has improved in that book. If you like trilogies, click on the HOPE Trilogy: Creed, Crossfire and Confession. It's about spies and several other interesting aspects.
Why Reading and Reviewing is Important on this Site
I'd really appriciate it if you left me a review for any one of my stories. I know that there are many other excellent, rising authors out there...So go look around. Find a really good story on this site and leave them a review as well. Please. This helps everyone out. It let's everyone feel like their writing is actually worth something, which it is. Reviews and/or read counts give us confidence and the courage to write more; as well as constructive critcism.

Poetry.
A deeper, more intillectual way of expressing oneself. More than mere words, more than simple sentances...it is pure genious.

***
Gregory Liam has always been an outcast. In school, he is shunned for his odd behavior. If there isn't enough on his plate, Gregory--after a fateful trip to the doctor's office--discovers that he has a health complication similar to MS. Due to his illness, Gregory is excluded by his peers. His own father pulls away from their firm relationship, out of shock: His own son is now a cripple. While some of his teachers welcome him back, others resent him.
Greg's tough new lifestyle reaches a climax when is jumped and chased down the streets. In a dark alley, he is brutally beaten up. Left for dead, he is visited by an angel of beautiful countenance. Upon regaining consciousness, he staggers home...only to meet the wrath of his parents for staying out so late. Desperate to figure out who saved him--be they human or of divine nature--Gregory travels back to the feared alley...and meets a gorgeous young woman. Rejected by his peers, and misunderstood by his parents, he looks to this beautiful woman for guidance.
Gregory will learn about love, passion and promises. All is well, until threats from a certain gang starts arriving in the mail for Greg. If he is to survive, he will have to turn to the person he trusts the most: his lover.
[My first NaNoWriMo 2009.]
~Even love can be deadly.
More info...Summary: One November night, a young man and his family are taken from their home in Arizona. When Rieker regains consciousness, he finds himself in a strange new setting: a prison camp. He, as well as other citizens of the United States, have no idea where they are. Guards patrol the outside of the iron gate (keeping the prisoners in), while strict, violent "biggie wigs" are the authorities on the inside of the camp. They play by their own rules. If you try and escape, you'll be killed.
Four years later, Rieker, frustrated after learning that he cannot take his small family home to America, decides to give a speech. This is a crucial moment for Rieker: This is the moment that might help him get his loved ones home. But, as he soon discovers, it's the start of a movement. Can one man lead a rebellion, against potential enemies and against all odds? Can he do the impossible and bring his fellow prisoners home?
This is the beginning of a daring mission, a plan that will cost lives. This is the beginning for the fight for freedom. This is the beginning of a legacy called Operation Escape.
*
We have everything: food, shelter and protection. We can do whatever we want: play games, listen to our iPods, drink, smoke, write letters or send e-mails; the list is endless. But, all we ever want, is freedom.
[An excerpt from Operation Escape]
More info...The winds of change sweeps the grounds of HOPE once more. They come in many forms: a hidden disease, mental illness, the threat of war and the reappearance of a father. Creed's life will either open up or shut down. Time is the answer...
Sequel to Crossfire. The most popular of the HOPE Trilogy.
More info...Revised Edition.
He doesn't know his past. The future is just as bleak. Trapped behind dangerous walls, a young man may never know freedom. Or so he thinks.
Prequel to Crossfire. The second most popular in the HOPE Trilogy.
