Horror Writer

About Me

Retsej.com

I'm a horror writer. I write poetry, short stories, and am working on a novel. I do write other genres as well, like SF and Fantasy, but stick mainly to horror. My poetry covers just about anything. Most of my writing is under the name of J. Daniel Seffens. View the website at www.JDanielSeffens.retsej.com
I will eventually get some of my work put up there, but for now you'll just have to take my word for it. Anyone who knew me when I was on Bebo has seen a lot of my poetry, but it's not up there anymore.
I have a forum set up for all interested in anything dark called Fallen From the Moonlit Path.


I'm happily married to the woman of my dreams. We have 5 children between us-2 of hers, 2 of mine, and one is ours.
I run Seffens Creative Services. We provide editing, proofreading, desktop publishing, and video editing. Check out the website at www.SeffensCreativeServices.Retsej.com

The Werewolf:

The Werewolf is the symbol for Spiritual Paths. You have the soul of a wolf inside you, which makes you warm and caring to those you love.

Strengths: Protection is a number one priority, and therefore you always gaurd the ones you love and keep tight bonds with your pack mates. Loyalty is strong within yourself, and you also expect it from the ones who are close to you.

Flip Side: Even though you care for those you love deeply, if they betray you, anger races through your veins. The Werewolf, despite it's warm fun-loving personality, can also stand up for itself if need be. You would have no problem hiding your anger if something sets you off balance.

Congratulations! You have a Werewolf inside!

You scored as Dracula. You are the smooth sexy cool Dracula. Patient and lustful. If you were any cooler youd be ice. Great style with a way of seducing those around you. And three brides who wouldn't want to be him.
