| Introduction | Hello! I'm writing about 6 books (I think...maybe 7) at last count and enjoying every one of them. They're all historical fiction (minus 2 which are*slightly* sci-fi) and the era's range from the 1st century AD to 1923 in Russia! I have a fascination with Russia and Rome (the former more so) and their people and cultures. I am not Russian, but Russia plays a part in my family history (and I have a very Russian name!) so it's important to me. :) I love studying the early Christians in Rome and other areas of the world. I am a film-maker too. I've worked on a few short films, and intend to work on more, and eventually a feature. I'm working on the script for one now. So much fun. :) |

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
I would sleep during the day, when I could close out everything, and wake at night, staring into the sky in my waking dreams writing music in my head, and singing when no one can hear me. Not because I don't have a good voice (I do), but because I would be singing as I do everything...alone...at night...with music... *music of the night starts playing* See why I love Erik?
