About the author

Greetings to any Fanfiction readers who stumbled upon my bio. Writing is not my day job, but it's something that keeps me busy, and keeps me happy. I'm 37 years old, live in Portland, Oregon, and work on managing the product portfolio for a Fortune 500 company in the computer industry. So what business do I have here? :-)

I guess part of it is that I allow myself to be a geek, play video games without any apologies for my age, and spend hours of my life building fictions around them. I'm pleased to be able to post my work here for people to enjoy, and hope people will give it a chance, and give me reviews. Thanks everyone for stopping by!

The Fate of Gaia's Wrath by Reasons of Heart reviews
FFIV. Slightly AU. Darkness is rising not only in Baron, but the entire world. The motivation to end the rapid expansion exists wholeheartedly. But if there is any hope of vanquishing it, the Warriors of Light must first stayed united. The fine thread of fate blows loosely in the wind, only to be caught by Titan's angry fist.

Balance and Ruin by Draconai reviews
Starlet's Seven. They worshipped not Lakshmi, nor even called her by Starlet. At times they were four, at times they were twelve, but rarely ever seven. Their name came from its lack of connection; for none would suspect this group of mismatched friends, bearing a name linked to one that held little but beauty, to be dancing with their swords...
