Biography

I am a Criminology student currently attending classes for my first degree, one of what might become many. When I am asked what I want to do with my degree I always get strange looks, I want to be a writer. However it is not that strange if you think about it. More so than any degree Criminology offers a unique benefit to writers. It is the unique and scientific dissection of bad guys and the people in the real world who work to catch them. Can you believe someone is actually going to give me a degree for studying this? How cool is that?

    This short piece shows real potential for full development. I enjoy the concept and this particular piece reminds me of the really good science fiction of the late 80's. I look forward to seeing more.
