Back to top

Welcome to my home away from home! I'm glad you dropped in. My name is LeMarr, friends call me Lee, but I use the pen name L. D. Dailey because it looks cool. I am an engineer by day and an aspiring writer by night. I am a novice at this writing thing. I started in August 2007 after hording an idea for a book inside my head for about five years. The journey has been a long one, but I am slowly finding my stride, learning what my writing style is as I fumble through the basics.

I named this place my asylum because writing has turned out to be my refuge away from the challenges of everyday life. In here, I can write about anything that comes to mind without causing anything catastrophic (except for eye strain or stomach pains if the writing is that bad). Most of my works delve into the fantasy genre, but if you peruse through the many rooms of this asylum, you will find stories across many genres.

So prop your feet up, get comfortable, and check out a story. The Engineer's Storage Room houses a collection of my short stories. The Sun Room houses a collection of stories written for The Writer's Cramp. I cook up all my novel ideas in the Kitchen. The Attic? Well, lets not go there. The attic is a place for junk. The Conjugal Visitation Suite contains my daring attempt(s) at erotica. All of The Asylum's activities are found around the Recreational Facilities. You can find stories about the life and times of me in Experimental Surgery.

The Asylum is constantly expanding to include more- guests. Gothic Angel gone lays about in The Lobby. I play around with my group, The WDC Frontliners in The Garage. Check out my good friend, c.r.stone at Stone Rhythms!

If you see room for improvement, then please leave a review or two and I will gladly return the favor. Don't forget to sign the guestbook before you leave! Also, this is my first website, so if you happen to have tips to make it better, please feel free to email me with suggestions!
