is an acclaimed author, primarily known for his popular Fanfic, The Lion King Adventures, though he has recently published a novel, Flight.
He was 15 when he started the series, and turned 16 during its year-and-a-half run. The Lion King Adventures became a hit very quickly, as it spawned similar series by other authors, a massive forum—home to multiple works created by the author and the fans—music, voice recordings by VA Anonymous13 B, the detective thriller The Haiba Mystery, and its follow-up series Poison. This has earned him the reputation of being one of the most popular fanfic writers for The Lion King, with a large and dedicated fanbase.
On January 1, 2014, he wrote and published his very last fanfiction story, Haiba Kong.
As of June 2014, he has published Flight, the first in a long line of novels he intends to write. The book is available on Amazon in e-book form, and those who wish for a hard copy can obtain a paperback edition on Create Space.
