“Prominent”, “buoyant”, “hardy”-I am not. Since childhood, I’ve been a daydreamer desperately wishing to escape into fantasy realms and sunny fairy fields. To which I was left with too many books and filled journals clogging my shelves yet no portal into the unknown. Now, I continue my struggle through the medium of writing fantastical romances, playing romantic visual novels and RPGs, and collecting polyhedral dice to show off at the gaming table.
With my debut series, the Romances of Runlaris, my mission is this: To inform, inspire, and encourage myself and others. I wish to inform through this series of different aspects and viewpoints of others (albeit, mostly in the form of languages and historical cliff notes of other cultures laced with fantastical writings), to inspire the creativity of the writing community and readers, and to encourage only the best and true nature of oneself and the strive to do so. There is so much potential and wonder in this world, and it all started so long ago. So let us embark on the journey to discover exactly how strange and beautifully bizarre its beginnings were, and how we can learn and improve from there.
