I like the potential of fantasy as it allows your mind to wander without boundaries through the infinite depths of your imagination. I also like everything that went down in medieval Europe from the fall of Rome to the beginning of renaissance. It is glorified poverty, but it's a very fruitful pool of inspiration to draw from. Thus, I write medieval fantasy, and I try to make it as dirty as it was back then, when the continent was torn by many wars, and people died of diseases, famine and religion.

While my love for everything medieval is the main driving force for me to write, I do like to fiddle with different kinds of concepts to clear the air from time to time.

If you share these interests with me, feel free to hop on board and explore what I have presented here, and at my own little corner on the web.

Thank you.

Best regards,
