Author has written 11 stories for Janet Evanovich.

Alfonsina del Mar (actually Alfonsina Storni) was a great poet in Argentina during the first third of the 20th century. She drowned herself in the ocean after she was diagnosed with a cancer. When I had my own cancer diagnosis in 2007, I could relate to her despair but definitely didn't chose her option. Fighting is a better choice, at least for me.

It has recently been pointed out to me that though I am a 'babe' at heart, I actually enjoy misdirection. When you read my stories, expect the unexpected or the twist. Even if you get an ending you are expecting, it may take a while to get down that particular road.

Periodically, I post shorts (or longs) on my livejournal that have nothing to do with fan fiction ... feel free to stop by.


The Tart Pledge

Posted to verify I will be true to myself.

I, Alf, do hereby
sincerely swear, pledge and all that crap,
to listen to my muse and not succumb to peer pressure.

If my muse decides he wants a Tart ending,
I will write a tart ending.

If my muse wants multiple Tart endings,
I will write multiple tart endings.

If my muse wants me to write a couple having their wicked way
in the back of an old Chevy Cavalier,
I will ensure enough rubbers are provided.

You have my word.

Tart = someone who isn't necessarily a Babe or a Cupcake. Tarts believe that the MM deserve their own place in the sun, whether or not they find a relationship in the endeavor.


I am a firm believer that an interesting story is more fun to read than a predictable one. I have always like magic and slight of hand, though I am capable of neither. So I try to be unpredictable in the way I tell stories.

My one-shots are seldom 'babe' or 'cupcake' ... they are virtually all misdirected.

Due to the fact that most of my one shots are incredibly trivial and poorly written, the lion's share of them have been removed. I prefer to post longer pieces and continue to develop the characters. My one shots have a very limited life expectancy.

My longer stories don't have predictable endings either; in fact when I wrote Nothing But Time on My Hands, I wrote three endings to see if it was possible to make everyone happy. It isn't possible to please everyone, but it was a good exercise anyway. Wait, After Samhain is predictable, but it is romance for the sake of romance.

The avitar is Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez who serves as the inspiration for Manny Ramos. check Youtube for the song Canta Corazon for better insight into Manny.

All the best and thanks for reading,

Lisa/aka Alfonsina
