Author has written 25 stories for Alexander.

I thought it was time to update this profile. Some of you may also know me by my other writing name, Selket. I've written Alexander stories on some Yahoo sites that I guess are now defunct. You've probably also noticed most of my stories have no resemblence to Oliver Stone's movie about Alexander. I write from my imagination and the histories and try to stay true to the spirit of Alexander as I know him. I'm glad Mr. Stone produced his movie, anything created about Alexander and Hephaistion thrills me, but well, ah... nuff said.

I live now in Jackson, Mississppi, having left New Olreans about a year after Hurricane Katrina. My family consists of two spoiled cats, Seti Alexandros Hyakinthos (yes, that's actually his name) and Duncan Alexander McCleod, of the Black Cat Clan McCleod, yes, I named him after Duncan McCleod of the Highlander series.

You can see their pictures on my page at myspace.com/readings with Elizabeth. I have been writing, thinking and obessed with Alexander since I was at least six. I wrote my first story about him at that age. I'm currently working on two books about Alexander and Hephaistion. The research takes a while, but it's clearly worth it. To all who read my little stories, thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kind comments and thoughts.
