About Me
Mr. Hazel Motes, here.

For the time being, I am uncertain exactly how to biographize myself; I will keep this simple.

Having been born into the beautiful countryside and being nearly deaf, I have lived life especially sensitive to its imagery, both fearsome and enrapturing.

My favorite piece of fiction is Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Runner-ups are Jane Eyre and Quo Vadis.

My greatest personal hero (besides Christ Jesus, my Lord) is Joan d'Arc, Maiden of Orleans.

Despite my near deafness, my greatest source of musical encouragement is Florence Welch, whose work has continued to motivate and haunt me.

As a writer, two profoundly inspirational authors are Ms. Flannery O'Connor and Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne. Only a few have matched them in their ability to capture the richness of humanity and the human struggle, the true power of evil, and the satisfying violence of God's love.
