To write about something, I feel I should be passionate about it, and I have been passionate about graphic novels and manga for fourteen years. My interest began when I discovered how beautiful the art was in Japanese graphic novels, and how adult the stories were in American and British graphic novels. From there, the love affair simply grew, incorporating my love of learning with a topic I truly loved.

I have a degree in English with a minor in writing from the University of Northern Iowa, and currently work as a freelance writer for a small company in the city where I live. My other hobbies, aside from writing, include crocheting and writing long letters to my fiancee.

Some of my favorite manga include several series that have become popular in the United States such as Sailor Moon and Escaflowne. Others have not become as popular, including Sorcerer Hunters and Pretear, but are still frequently thumbed through on my bookshelf. In the realm of graphic novels, I have many favorites, but some that stand out include Watchmen, Sin City, and the Lucifer Series.
