Bio:
Greetings and welcome! I have a hard time with bios and profiles because I'm never quite sure what you want to hear. Or if you want to hear anything at all. So I'll make it quick and give you a brief summary on what you might see from me as a writer.

I'm a college graduate with a major in Middle Eastern politics, and because of that, I'm very interested in anything that contains culture clashes. This probably explains my obsession with Gimli and Legolas. I love character introspection, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing, or so I am told. And I also enjoy a mix of humor and angst (part of that culture clash fetish). I'm not a fan of romance, so you'll see little of that from me. I think I'm too jaded for it. But beyond that, I'll write almost anything about almost anyone. So I hope you enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you!
