I began writing at the age of seven, while watching my mother compose poetry at the kitchen table.  I already loved books, so I thought I'd give it a try myself.  I've continued writing ever since.  Poetry was my first love, and since I was (and am) a dreamer and a lover of anything beautiful, I gravitated towards more classical forms and subjects than has been typical in modern times.  I loved the Romantics.  I still write poetry occasionally, but nowadays my focus is mainly on Christian fantasy.
