Author has written 36 stories for House, M.D., and Criminal Minds.

Me? I'm 22 years old. At the moment, in the aftermath of my parents' divorce, I'm living with my mom and we run a dayhome together. Five days a week, ten hours a day, my life is devoted to raising other people's children - six two year olds each day. And I do a lot of babysitting the same kids on the side. So, if you think I'm going to be regularly posting things (or even working on things), you've obviously never spent a lot of time around toddlers.

My absolute favorite show that I live for week to week is (now) Once Upon a Time. It is the single greatest thing in the history of television. I'm also a fan of Life Unexpected, Grimm, Saving Hope, Hunger Games, Beauty and the Beast, X-Men: First Class, and just about any trashy show you can name. Those are just the major ones, though. And yes, I mainly write Criminal Minds fic, but I no longer watch the show because it's nothing without Paget (as was proved last season).

Check out my collaborations with Confetti Leaves, either on my profile or hers. Check them out HERE. And, while you're there, check out her stories, they're totally rad.

Sept. 12/ 2012: I have been away from the site for more than two years. A lot of it had to do with my severe mental health issues (and I'm still trying to get everything back in balance because during that two years, things got even MORE fucked up), but it also had to do with some unfortunate issues with mean people who apparently have nothing better to do than to make strangers on the internet feel like shit. And I won't lie, I got caught up in a lot of other internet fandom things and this just fell by the wayside. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things around here, but no promises...it'll depend on a lot of different things.

Feb. 22/ 2013: I run a Tumblr devoted to the Morgan/Prentiss and you should check it out. We're currently hosting a fanfic competition and the judges' favorite submitted fic will get a prize.
