Welcome to my internet home, which I've been a resident since 1999. Annacloud9 (On a cloud nine) has been an ever-changing website through the years. One thing it has always been is a safe haven for my writing, art, and expression.
I'm a writer at heart, and artist by nature.
I started writing short stories in 1980, having taken a liking to Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dungeons & Dragons. By the mid-80's I had read the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, the Dune series by Frank Herbert, and enough Conan books by Robert Howard it'd make your head spin. I also began reading Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, and Anne McCaffrey among others.
In 1987 I began writing my own science fiction P&PRPG called Stellar Journeys, with a loyal albeit small player-base supporting it. This in-turn lead me to write Stellar Journeys as a series of novels beginning in 1991 and ending in 1995, with an open-ended finale that I still think about writing an official closing for to this day.
The rest is history as they'd say, but I still write today, while encouraging other hopeful writers through communities such as FanStory, and many other social writer's groups focused on the genres that I write. I'm not heavily into self-branding myself via social media projects and remain comfortable using my own website for my exposure.
Feel free to look around.
The greatest characters are waiting to be created. So... create them.
