I'm a fifty-something mother of four grown children and I'm married for the second time to a man with three children. My younger sister bought me my first Harry Potter book for Christmas one year and I've been hooked ever since. My youngest daughter and I stood in the lines at major book stores at midnight to get the latest books, and I'm sorry that part of my life is over now that the series is done.

My older sister introduced me to Fan Fiction a few years ago with a story by Fern Withy about Lupin/Tonks, and I still love that ship. I love good Harry Potter stories. I read them constantly. I even created my own spreadsheet to keep track of the ones I've read. If I knew how to do it, I'd put a copy of it here. My husband just fed my addiction by buying me a laptop so I don't hog the family PC. Now I can sit in a comfortable chair to read.

I finally wrote a story of my own. My younger sister, Sarah, is my beta and she does a great job.
