I've been into science fiction and fantasy going back as far as I can remember. I think it was when I saw "The Empire Strikes Back," that it all hit home. From that point on a was a whirlwind of strange trivia and action figures. I devoted myself to anything involving robots.

When I was a little older, my mother watched a movie with me entitled,"The Last Unicorn," now I know what you're thinking:

"But Justin, you're so manly!"

Which is true but that movie got me into fantasy. The Redwall and Tolkien books enthralled me to no end. I didn't think anything better could be done with the two genres and then my friend brought Heavy Metal magazine to my house. A whole can of worms and hyperventilation was opened and here I am.
