Hi!

If you are here, then you must be curious about me in some way, shape or form.

I like to describe myself as a diehard romantic. I live in an old house in a smallish town in Nova Scotia, Canada with my doggies Abigail the Sheltie X and Razzle the golden retriever, along with my paladin Faelan. I like to say my life is lived 2 inches off the ground, always floating in a romantic haze.

My work reflects my loving, romantic nature, and I will be honest in saying its not for everyone. If you seek angst, harsh endings, controversial characters, lots of dissension then I'm not the girl for you. I like to take my readers/viewers on emotional journeys but prefer the end destination to be a happy one. Life itself already has many sadnesses, why write about them too?

I am a digital artist primarily, but for many years before I discovered art I was a writer. I allowed that part of me to slip away as life progressed and happened all around me. I do a lot of fanart and photo work and yes, I do take commissions. You will find my prices are nowhere near those of many galleries, and it isn't because I don't value my work, rather I value the gift of my ability to do this and share it more. Does that make any sense?

I have done the artwork for Lupine Paladin's story A Truth Denied here on the site, it can be found in my deviantart gallery also, just visit me there and search the gallery for NWN2.

My first story, Sunset Tears has run out of mojo and might not be finished. "Questions" is the first in a series of Torio and KC Suki. Lupine Paladin and I just completed a Sand/Torio collaborative story titled Just One Night. Artwork for that is up on my deviantart page as well as the story itself.

Let it now be known that I am truly, madly, deeply in love with the (former) Luskan ambassador Torio Claven. She's all over my gallery, and she is in all my fanfics as well. I have paired her with Sand, because he is without question my favorite character, and I wanted The Divine Miss T to have only the best for a lover. The avatar you see here is, of course, Torio.

I would be very happy to hear from you, especially to let me know what you think about Sunset Tears and Just One Night. I welcome gentle and constructive criticism and while I may not make every change suggested to me, I appreciate the feedback and do take everything under consideration. It's how I will grow as a writer. I also welcome any story ideas you may have.

Sunset Tears: A Note About Pronunciations

My story has some odd names in it. If you stumbled, tongue tied over them, here is a bit of help!

Kyrie (KY-ree)

de Chantraine (duh-shun-TRENN) if you can do a soft french 'r' on on the last syllable it sounds very lovely, as its meant to :)

Althraion Nhaereseer (al-THRAY-on NAY-ruh-seer)

Razelique (raz-uh-LEEK) soft french 'r' on the first syllable

Azrelaine (azz-ruh-LENN) soft french 'r' on the second syllable

Laoghaire (LEE-rah)
