A Mind in Exile: Scraps of Wisdom

This section of the site is all about the people who have influence me in both life and writing. I read a great deal, so they are all writer. You're going to see quotes, pictures, and a host of other stuff from Anne Rice, Terry Moore, Rumiko Takahashi, and a lot more. If it was written and/or drawn, and influenced me, then I'll put it here.

Terry Moore: Strangers in Paradise

I got started on this comic when Terry moved from his own publishing company, Abstract Studios, to Image Comics. This didn't last for very long, thank goodness, and Terry soon went home to his own company. I've never come across a comic that was anything like it. Strangers was the only thing that kept me buying comics until I got into manga-I could just hug Terry for keeping me reading comics, 'cause I just love my manga!

A Distant Scream~ One of Terry's poems with Katchoo and Francine artwork.
Ma Malai~ Another poem with beautiful artwork.
The Mask~ This is a wall that I made from 4 pages of the comic. It is Katchoo at her step-father's grave.
And finally, a pic of the man himself, Terry Moore.

Anne Rice

I have loved Anne since my teen years(many, many years ago XD). She has been a mother to me in many ways through her writing. She also had a lot to do with my conversion to Catholism in '99. I'll share that at some piont, that is, if anyone is interested in the story. You can visit her official site by clicking here. I'll be adding a page with quotes from some of her novels at some point.
