Biography
I just like to enjoy the little thing in life and I go for them! And I don't let anyone tell me I can't do it.One of my mottos is to not let anybody burst my bubble, just be yourself!
I love writing fiction as well as poetry, and anything can inspire me to jot down my thoughts.

Origins
on Sep. 01, 2011
After some getting used to, with the author's style, I enjoyed it, it was getting better & better as it moved along, until the unexpected finale; the battle scene at the end of the 1st chapter was epic! I've read the 2nd edition.

Kill Her Not (Naked Spooks)
on Sep. 04, 2011
One of the best shorties I've read this year. Not much of a romance here, but the sex scene was... let's just say I've read it a couple of times back to back. There is a storyline predisposing us for the next instalments in the series. 4 stars.

The Lodge & the Tribe
on Oct. 11, 2011
A relentless drive through pro-revolution Paris, strange and bloody as much as beautiful at times. A story that requires a very strong stomach, dark and powerful with characters extremely flawed, full of dirty secrets and vices. A protagonist that you will hate, because he's an arrogant and cunning monster, a lying but deadly, shell of a man, a dark hero in the true sense of the word that only after grasping the true nature of the events unfolding around him, he'll reach a small semblance of redemption in our eyes and become a little more likable... Barely. I enjoyed it immensely, it gave me almost no dull moment but for the conclusion of some of the sub-stories and especially the end of one of the main characters that left me almost angry. But then again I like it when that happens. Some minor flaws but overall a brilliant effort. Four and a half stars easily. I read the kindle edition and because there are parts written in Latin, French and even German, although translated adequately, it helped me a lot at times.
