In My Own Words:
I am a massive fan of fantasy. Even from an early age I showed a great intrest. While other three year olds sat and watched Rainbow, I was watching the animated version of the lord of the rings. I have a great love for high fantasy, and my favourite few aurthors are JRR Tolkien (of course), David Gemmel, and Terry Brooks.
