I am a gamer and anime fanatic and working on a career in literary history. I've a B.A. in World History and a minor in French and am working on my M.A. in Archival Studies. My topics will range but generally I write history, literary analysis, and criticism. I write fiction as well which will also be available here, with links to purchase the full stories and e-books on Amazon.
All of my academic writings are papers and essays I have written based on my own personal research, most of which I have submitted for college assignments. Regardless of whether it was an assigned topic or not it is my own writing which I have put a lot of effort into researching.
My fiction is the work of long hours pulled together in groups of minutes here and there as I snag time between full-time work and graduate school. I have always wanted to have a career in writing and my favored genres are fantasy and epic.
