ZoeJoy24hide bio
Author has written 8 stories for Merlin, and Prodigal Son. What it really all comes down to is that I love words. Whether I am reading them or writing them, or listening to them song in a song, even watching them be expressed through movies and television, words are really what it all comes down to in my mind. I believe that words have power and that is why I write and why I love to read what other people write. Aside from all that... I'm 24 years old and getting ready to graduate from college. Yes I'm a little old but I made a few stops along the way to my diploma, and they were all worth it. I've enjoyed writing for as long as I can remember, but it hasn't been till recently that I've really taken it seriously and started sharing my work. Essentially I am a huge nerd, having grown up with two brothers, no sisters, watching Star Wars for as long as I can remember and being read Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia before bed. I'm am a huge fan of fantasy and history and the BBC so most of my stories will probably be based in one of those settings in some way or another. I hope you enjoy my stories. My goal is to entertain, maybe enlighten, and overall to share the crazy things I see in my head with other people in an attempt to just get them out and to make sure that I'm not psycho as well. =) |
