I am a music teacher by profession, and I teach drums (and Marimba) as well as a free Isshinryu karate class (not for kids) here in Pittsburgh, PA. I enjoy music, I read addictively, I love poetry and short fiction. (out of Horror and Fantasy Mags) If I had to describe my own style, I'd say it's modern, influenced heavily by what's in magazines I'm reading (i.e. Cthulu mythos) at the moment, but also by my main influences. (Neil Gaiman, Ezra Pound)

Thank you, now I feel warm and fuzzy on the inside... I also like the quotes Well enough chit-chat better get to work. *Get's lots in the woods*  Dan Shevock replies: "It's nice to be described as experienced.  Enjoy." | |
| 16 May 2006 |  J. E. Schroeder | Loading... Hello hello! I'm here to return your kind visit... is there some place in particular that would be good to start? Do let me know, and I shall return promptly! Thanks again for taking the time to comment on my page! Dan Shevock replies: "That depends entirely on what you like... I only have poems posted to this site (I removed the story I once had up) but there is a great variety here; sytle and topic. I read your poem about an evil villain, and the closest I have to that is "Horned Man of Reflections," though it's not so much a person as a spirit. The "Solmen" are also somewhat demonic. While those poems are written in a more modern style, I have poems in more traditional forms; Aventine Hill, As Boundless Spring Leaps Into Prime, The Demon Regret and In the Gloaming. The only poem I have about elves is not a traditional elf poem either... most of my poems are based on spirits that could be described as fairies, or as demons. " | |
| 9 Jun 2006 |  Timothy Pontious | Loading... Hello! I found my way back and as always I find some treats to read on your page. I've posted an poetic effort of my own. If you could find your way clear to read 'Iceman' for me, I would truly appreciate your comments! Cheers..... Dan Shevock replies: "I'll certainly be by, though I'm on my way to a planeride right now. In about a week I'll be back. Peace." | |

It’s been a damn long time since I was last able to appear in this, the wood of elves. But I’m back with a vengance, and have recently finished writing a story, which Tomorrow I shall send to the mods. I just thought I should tell you as you’re one of my 3 fans.
Enjoy, my good man, and take care. Dan Shevock replies: "cool. I’ll be over." | |
