The only books I've published are on Amazon, just a few collections of short stories and poems, plus two novellas (The Golden Locket and Creed of the Stars) that, rereading them now, aren't the greatest quality. I'm working on getting a couple done this year, hoping that maybe, I will have more. We'll see how this year goes for me.
That being said, you still need to reply to my message, young lady. I appreciate the question, but you still have to take down those photos and change the profile pictures of your group. You can't come on here to start fangirling over books just to throw in photos like that. That's not what this website is for. (less)
Aurora Mandeville lol . . . is this a trick question?

I have a fairly long list of favorite books, though I guess I can limit it to Nancy Drew, Hound of the Baskervilles, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Pride & Prejudice, St. Rose of Lima, St. Agnes, St. Dominic Savio, St. Dominic, and fairy tales.
Everything I've read has influenced me in some way, even some of the TV shows and movies I grew up with has influenced, and inspired me. Everything From Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys to Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Pride & Prejudice for books, and everything from Scooby-Doo, Spiderman, and Batman to Star Trek, Star Wars, and Stargate for TV. The Bible and the lives of the saints has also influenced me big time, some ideas were inspired by them alone, in fact (one idea I'm working on is inspired by the Parable of the Five Foolish Maidens). But I think the moment I knew I wanted to be a writer was when I created a character to help out some kids in an anime called Digimon Adventure. Matthew has grown since then and has become his own man, so to speak, as well as his entire species. And I know the major influences for him are Disney's Aladdin, Bonanza, Peter Pan, and Disney's Adventures of Huck Finn.
In the past, well, it was primarily fanfiction, and it's simply grown from there. The one thing I think really started it was Digimon Adventure. I've been into fanfiction pretty much since then. The original ideas started coming not long after that. The Golden Locket especially has been brewing around in my head for ten years. It had to get out sooner or later, but I always knew it was going to be my first book (even though it was written post-haste for a St. Valentine's Day contest).
And don't worry, if I forgot something, it'll show up in my stories. You'll know it when you see it. Thanks for the question!! (less)

Emma Goldman
“I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.”
Emma Goldman

William Shakespeare
“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father refuse thy name, thou art thyself thou not a montegue, what is montegue? tis nor hand nor foot nor any other part belonging to a man
What is in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,
So Romeo would were he not Romeo called retain such dear perfection to which he owes without that title,
Romeo, Doth thy name!
And for that name which is no part of thee, take all thyself.”
William Shakespeare

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

J.R.R. Tolkien
“But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

J.R.R. Tolkien
“And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
