I Write Like

Ever wonder what famous author your style resembles?

Now, one quick copy/paste and mouse click will have you well on your way to knowing.  As an experiment, I pulled the opening scene of the latest installment of the Jewels of Desire book, which is set for release in the next few weeks (check back for details and updates!).

I'll take it as a compliment, and aspire to one day be published by TOR and Harper Collins...though to be fair, I thought I should also pull a section of the *ahem* naughtier bit of the latest book, and that gave me Anne Rice. I'll take that too. :)
