About CJ Currie

Hi,

The gent in this fine picture here is me.  I live in Idaho, where I'm going to school and trying to earn my writing degree.  I've been writing since I was about twelve, and although I don't have much in the way of talent, I compensate by really loving what I do!

I have been influenced by many contemporary fantasy and science fiction authors, such as Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey, David Eddings, Terry Pratchett, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, Marion Zimmer Bradley, R. A. Salvatore, and Neil Gaiman, but I feel like my own style is a voice I found all on my own.

I write for two reasons: to experience adventure and to capture a sense of wonder.  It seems to me like people have a lot of issues to deal with in their lives, with all kind of silt bringing us down.  In my head and in my dreams I see better, more interesting worlds, filled with unforgettable characters and wickedly awesome fighting scenes, where people don't have to be so sad and preoccupied.  I write to bring these worlds to life, so that people can have a little something nicer to dream about.  It's from this that I coin my catchphrase: Making new worlds come to life.  I hope to share these with you, so that you can experience a little wonder and share my sense of adventure, too.

Thanks for visiting the site, and I hope you have a great time here!
