I’m a shadeslayer, griffon trainer, and hydra defeater. I’m also a dragon rider (from Eragon by Christopher Paolini), a time walker (from Outlaws of Time by N.D. Wilson), a throne warden (from Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson), a portal linker (from my imagination), and an all around imaginer.

I live in a tree fort down the road from Trickle Creek with my tiny pet dragon, Vip (who happens to make it into a few of my stories). In my bedroom, you’ll find a sword called Brazagl, dragon diagrams, and a bookshelf with my favorite books all grouped in one section. In that section you’ll find 100 cupboards, Outlaws of Time, Wingfeather, Lord of the Rings, the Inheritance Cycle, Narnia, and more. <span style=”background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Georgia,&quot; times new roman&quot;,&quot;bitstream charter&quot;,times,serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;”>*Pats Vip, who’s watching my writing intently*</span>

I know my bedroom door so well that it makes the perfect portal jumping off point (something you would only understand if you were a portal linker like myself). I can use it to jump to any door I know well enough, but if I want to travel further, I can jump to an old mansion I discovered that leads into all the worlds. Some of my most common places I use that door to travel to is The Tornado Islands, Wave Town (My personal city state), Castle DeLaquire, the ship the Sea Dragon, Chimney Hill at Ban Rona at the Green Hollows, and an old tattered house in Kansas whose attic wall contains 99 cupboards. My last, and most common place I travel to is my prison cell, hidden in the Great Grisly Forest. It is there I must go every night when the jail keeper comes to check up on me. (He doesn’t know I’m a portal linker). If I come late, then time walking kicks in, and I go back and do it right.

Yikes!

Sorry about that. I just had to run and put out a small fire Vip just set off. Its so hard to teach him that fireballs are unacceptable. *To Vip: “Naughty dragon”* So mischievous.

While I’m not battling gargoyles, taming griffons, dueling shades, fleeing Fangs, riding toothy cows, destroying rings, time walking, and traveling through portals, I’m a grade nine homeschool student who likes writing. (Not that I’ve written that much.) I (Vip would like me to mention his supreme help (his idea of help is to laze about and cause trouble while I do all the work. *Sigh,* Pets.)) have written a bunch of shortish stories (all too long for the short story contest) and am almost completed a novel. (I won’t mention the many dumb children’s stories I’ve written.) I have a problem with sticking with stories, and tend to jump around from story to story and sometimes come back later to old ones, sometimes (sadly) not.

Well, that’s about me.
