I'm a writer as well as a reader. I have published a few of my poems in the book Poems (2006-2013). I'm currently working on my first novel A Lamp-Light Yellow which should be finished soon. I like writing which has a statement to make. I like writer's with a strong voice. I like philosophical works for this reason. I've been most impacted by the works of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche. I love the classics. I may be reading more histories as well. I'm interested by American History. I'm on this site because I want to find other new novelists to read and review. I love to read self-published stuff because I feel like a treasure hunter.
