My Warriors Page

There aren't any summaries or reviews on this page, just links, covers, and pictures of my cats. But I had to add a little section on these books just to show that I'm a fan . . . and to have a good place for pictures of my cats. :)





I'm not currently participating in any webcompetitions, but I'll leave these links up in case you want to join one. I had a lot of fun while I was there.

A Small Story

My Friend Cienna's Version


This is a webpage. I'm sure you already knew that, but just incase you are from some remote island where the internet doesn't exist and are only seeing this by accident as a reflection on the water coming from the filling in your tooth you got just before you were abandoned, I figured I'd let you know.

Anyway, my name is Vencora. Although it is an uncommon name, I do not deny that others may have it and may have had it even before I; but, in my many analizations of life and the humans which exist in it, I've come to realize that it is more that entirely and extremely possible for many of us to make up the exact same things, especially names. Before I came to this conclusion, I was quite disturbed to come on the internet and find that there are other Vencoras in the world. Silly me, I thought that I was the only one.

Names however, are not things that have to be individual. I'm sure that no matter what we make up to call our children, at least one other person somewhere has thought of the exact same name. It's kind of depressing, but we do have an awful lot of people in the world.

Well, enough about names, since that is not what this page is for. I just like to type to see my own hands.
