Hobbies

My current hobbies include: Writing I have written several fantasy and science fiction novels currently being published by Penguin and Macmillian Publishing Houses. Additionally, I like to write for comedy websites (10 lists, etc.). All forms of creative writing are interesting to me and I love learning and honing the craft. Reading Although I love writing, reading is my first love. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels above all else. Any story that can transform the ordinary into extraordinary is fine by me. My favorite novel of all time is Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein. Video Games I love all forms of storytelling – including video games and film. I have been an avid gamer since I was four-years-old and enjoy going to tournaments to compete. My favorite video game of all time is Super Mario RPG. Film Analysis Another hobby of mine is film analysis. Storytelling is unique in the film world (with its own special rules). I enjoy going over movie stories and analyzing them with other groups or simply talking about better film theory. My favorite movie of all time is Princess Mononoke.
