Star Wars and the DJB
Kyra was hooked on star Wars at the age of five when her dad showed her and her younger brother episode 4. Since the first time watching Darth Vader on screen and after seeing the three originals dozens of times Kyra was a Star Wars fan for life. She joined the Dark Brotherhood in 2006 when she was looking for an online Star Wars club dedicated to the Dark side and Dark Jedi, it also happened following her first play through of Knights of the Old Republic. She was fascinated by the Sith from the game and the Prequel movies. Kyra also wanted to be apart of a club that was more than just a SW club but had multiple activities. Writing fiction, being part of a clan, the ACC, and the Shadow Academy appealed to her and still keeps her here today. Though Kyra left to concentrate on grad school she came back and enjoys the club even more, and since coming back she has been reading Star wars books and playing more Star Wars games.
Besides Star Wars Kyra is an avid fan of the Dune novels and have read all six of Frank Herbert's Dune novels and the last two books in the story by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Andersen, now she is into the House prequel books. Elements of Dune have been introduced into her DB character and fiction.
