My major influences are anime and manga (particularly Shonen Jump). I have also read many literary classics of the 19th and 20th-centuries. Lately I have begun reading steampunk, so I expect that will be a large influence on my writing. I have also been influenced by the humor of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's series. I like Stephen King and Dean Coontz, though I'm not sure how much they influence me.

Also, the French Revolution has been a good source of ideas as it was a very exciting time and is interesting to read about.
