luthien7

I love to read and I have been writing for many years. I do not dream of being a great and famous writer, I just want to write something fun and have anyone else enjoy it. I am glad to offer constructive (never negative or demeaning) critism or just drop a note when I love a story.

I write for the most part horror and dark fantasy although I am toying, lately, with fantasy (sword&sorcery). I used to write a great deal of poetry but I've fallen out of the habit...this looks like a great opportunity to try my hand again.

Despite my avatar - I'm a female (I'm pretty sure, anyway, what a big suprise for my kids and fiance if I am wrong), 36 years young - My Avi is of the Gunslinger from Stephen King's Dark Tower series (specifically the Gunslinger Born comic series) about which I am a fanatic. I am also deeply in love with Peter Straub, Tom Piccirili (I'm sure I've butchered this spelling), Jack Ketcham, Richard Mattheson, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, etc... as well as J.R.R. Tolkien (where I stole my user name), Michael Moorcock, William Gibson, Phillip K. Dick, Ann Rice, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, Poppie Z Brite, Who ever is responsible for Dead Cat, and I don't know what all.

I just like to read.

See you around the cafe!
