Author has written 13 stories for Gone with the Wind, One Life To Live, and House, M.D..

Life has changed dramatically in the last two years since my daughter was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, a kidney disorder that is affecting more and more children. For more information or if you think you may know a child who could be suffering from a kidney disorder go to http://www.nephcure.org

Years ago, when I started writing fan fiction it was for fun, an outlet for all the creativity that school didn't want from me. I had a bad day in school, I wrote a chapter. I had a fight with my boyfriend, I wrote an angst filled one shot. Then I got tired of fanfiction, thought I "grew" out of it.

Then I discovered Gone With the Wind had a healthy fan fiction following so I climbed back in. Just when I thought I was out...

I wrote here and there, finished a story called The Lady and started another one called Facing the Enemy. Then, about a year into writing the story my daughter was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, something that will be with us for many years to come. Since then she has been hospitalized so many times that I can't even begin to figure out how many times we've been guest of the state.

Hospital nights are long, as anyone who has stayed for an extended period of time can attest. It isn't necessarily quiet, sometimes far from it, but the role of the parent is greatly diminished at night. We sit in uncomfortable chairs keeping watch. In order to pass the time, and to combat the feelings of helplessness I began to dedicate more time Facing the Enemy.

It became a lifeline, a way to come to deal with what was happening and what had happened to me over the years. I am guilty of Mary Sue-ing, I know it, but I am unapologetic. We all rob from our lives, how else could we write prose that appeals to others?

I've lost a child, had my husband walk out on me days after my father's heart attack, lost multiple family members in a shockingly short period or time, and I have small children whose verbal blundering's I have appropriated.

I am a lapsed Catholic. I am a wife, I am a mother, and I am a woman who fell in love with the wrong man at fourteen, caught him at nineteen and nearly lost everything before I realized my catastrophic mistake in loving a man who I could neither communicate with or be understood by.

I think we are all put on this earth for something, but some of us never find that something

If you are really lucky, you find it

I love hearing from people, if you like my fiction by all means send me a message. I am very approachable.

I wrote this back in 2002, it was inspired by scenes from somewhere in the midnineties. Todd and Blair are ooc, I didn't believe in using too many commas, and this started out life as a song fic. But I thought I'd share anyway, for a laugh.
