My Exploding Cat

This site is a compilation of my writing for the past five years: mostly novels, but some short stories and maybe the occasional terrible poem.

There are some drawings and pictures on here as well; I finally got those pages updated to some degree.

And guess what else? Everything you just read, right now, was written by a tree-climbing, high-school-attending, pubertal-hormone-despising 15 year old.

If you've done the math, you've figured out now that I've been writing novels since I was ten. Needless to say, some of these books are more worth reading than others. My completed books so far, in order and including my age at the time (it goes to the most recent version) :

1. Tricks of the Light novella quartet
   (1) (2) (3) (4) --10-11 yrs
2. Mirrorworld--11-12 yrs
3. Star--12-13 yrs
4. Phoenix--13-14 yrs

There are also some partial novels I haven't--and probably won't--finish. But if you're interested, the full list of links to my novels is on the Books page (here).

"Mumpsimus" is my new favorite word. A mumpsimus is a person who refuses to admit he's wrong; a person who stubbornly pushes away corrections.

It's a really good insult if you want the kind of people who read dictionaries in their spare time *cough* to get the joke... and not the guy you're insulting.
