✣ ┅ ABOUT ┅ ✣
You can call me August, but I will also be summoned by cool pond bugs and/or pictures of cats.
I'm a mostly-Fantasy writer with a fondness for chucking characters into things they think they aren't prepared for. I like how life looks from wild animals' eyes, the bottom of the sea, or the aftermath of the apocalypse. Or an airship. I'm rather fond of airships!
In the normal world, I'm a biology-trained grad student who plays with words and keeps Carassius and Corixidae in outdoor aquaria. I am five years old inside.
I wasn't kidding about the pond bugs.

I have... a lot of books. For update schedules, quick synopses, recommended reading order, and more, check out the link below - it's a google doc with the most up-to-date info. It you can't click it here, it can also be found at the bottom of this description.

If you still have questions, shoot me a PM, drop a comment, post on my wall... I'm not picky :)
