I've been writing full-time since the fall of 2004. I've been writing creatively since 1990, at the age of ten, when I designed a role-playing-game in the vein of Nintendo's Dragon Warrior.
What are some of your major writing influences?
The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the late 80's, Loreena McKennitt, and the original Final Fantasy video game all had an impact on my young, malleable mind.
What are some of your major genre influences?
My mother gave me a copy of Piers Anthony's "A Spell for Cameleon" when I was eight. It was all downhill from there.
What sort of training/schooling/experience do you have with writing?
Trial and error, my friends. I have written two novels which remain unpublished, and am finishing a third. It gets easier every time. I also have a B.A. in French from Amherst College.
How did you become involved in Empty Room Studios?
