| Bio: | Recently named a Bachelor of Arts in both History and English as a Jayhawk at the University of Kansas. Focusing on Ancient East Asian History, then Medieval European. And science fiction in English. An acolyte of James Gunn. Also a member of the Pyr Street Team (an SF&F imprint of Prometheus Books - edited by Lou Anders) and an aspiring writer/academian myself. "I must rule with eye and claw - as the hawk among lesser birds." - Atreides Assertation "And he saw a vision of armor. The armor was not his own skin; it was stronger than plasteel. Nothing penetrated his armor - not knife or poison or sand, not the dust of the desert or its desiccating heat. In his right hand he carried the power to make the Coriolis storm, to shake the earth and erode it into nothing. His eyes were fixed upon the Golden Path and in his left hand he carried the scepter of absolute mastery. And beyond the Golden Path, his eyes looked into eternity which he knew to be the food of his soul and of his everlasting flesh." - Heighia, My Brother's Dream from the Book of Ghanima "There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace -- those qualities you find always in that which the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way the sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet it is possible to see the peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains its own fixity. In such perfection, all things move toward death." - The Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib "Enter the fugue. In music, the fugue is usually based on a single theme that is played many different ways. Sometimes there are free voices that do fanciful dances around the interplay. There can be secondary themes and contrasts in harmony, rhythm, and melody. From the moment when a single voice introduces the primary theme, however, the whole is woven into a single fabric." - Frank Herbert | |||||
