Author has written 24 stories for Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.

I have lively and colorful imagination and writing is one of my forms of expression. I started writing fanfic because of my obsessed with Dragon Age, but I think it has only made it worse. Oh well, I guess that just means more stories.

It's always wonderful when a story inspires art and Mirror Images inspired Bonkzy to create this very yummy picture of Tristen and Sabrina. Enjoy! http://isabella-monroe.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d3h2sa8

I am such a visual person and Jinxy1983 has also created a wonderful collage of all the characters from Mirror Images and Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Jinxyalso created a collage of all the heroines from my stories.

Thanks for reading my stories and I hope you will take the time to review them.

Story Update

Bring Me To Life - In progress - AU -Tyce Dumant,the Highever Castle healer, comes across a 21 year old Anders who has recently escaped the tower. Tyce offers Anders a safe haven. Anders spends the next year with the Couslands and for the first time ever discovers the meaning of family, loyalty and love. This story will follow Willa Cousland and Anders through pre-DAO, DAO, DAA and DAII.

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - Complete - AU - This is Josie Cousland and Alistair's story set during Dragon Age Origins. It will not be a retelling of the game, but it will serve as the backdrop for the story. You do not have to have read Set Fire or The Beautiful Ones to follow this story.

I commissioned ElegantArtist21 on DeviantArt to create one of my favorite scenes in this story. She did a fantastic job! I hope you will think so too. elegantartist21 dot deviantart dot com/#/d5ivjf6 (Remove the spaces and the word dot and add an actual dot.)

Someone Like You - In progress- Takes place during ME3. It will highlight parts of the game, but will not be a retelling of the game. Shepard/Alenko/Vega triangle

The Beautiful Ones Book II- Complete -This is the prequel to Set Fire to the Rain. It is Josie and Anders' story set during Awakenings. It will not be a retelling of the game, but it will serve as the backdrop for the story.

Set Fire To The Rain Book III - Complete - AU - F!Cousland/Anders/Alistair - Commander Cousland rushes to Kirkwall to protect Anders from Weisshaupt who is coming after him for desertion when she unexpectedly runs into another Warden that left her when she needed him most.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik- Complete - DA2 - This story will begin half way through Act III. It is the sequel to Mirror Images so Tristen, Sabrina and Alistair will be in the story, but it will mostly focus on Anders and FHawke.

Beautiful Disaster - Complete - This is a one shot on how Anders and Mari Hawke from my other story Blood Sugar Sex Magik got together as a couple, but this story can also stand alone for all the Anders/Lady Hawke shippers.

Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore- Complete - This story is a one shot companion piece to my main story Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It picks up where the other one shot, Beautiful Disaster, left off. However, even if you haven't read those stories it will stand alone.

Disarray - Complete- Maker, she had Amell's eyes. When the rogue fixed her gaze on him and smiled an impish grin at him, his fragile world that he had built around him crumbled in complete disarray. Anders struggles to overcome his past while the future collides into him.

Just You and Me - Complete- AU - The first time Anders escapes from the tower Malcolm Hawke takes him in and gives him a home. Anders quickly becomes a part of the family, but what Anders begins to feel for Kate Hawke is far from brotherly love.

Keep Holding On - In Progress - Co-Authored with my spanktastic friend, Jinx1983. - Anders told Lady Hawke that he laid awake for 3 years thinking about her. Those would be some very interesting thoughts and fantasies...a series of one shots would do those years some justice. Jinxy is posting this story under her profile. Here is the link -http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7039437/1/Keep_Holding_On

Mirror Images - Complete - Alistair left Sabrina to marry Anora when the Warden conscripted Loghain. Now the Warden is rebuilding the Wardens with someone who looks remarkable like the King of Ferelden.

Truth, Lies, and Consequences –Complete - Takes place at the end of Awakenings. Alistair's duty to the throne and Ferelden and Gabriella Cousland's duty to the Grey Wardens demands that their story ends, but can true love ever end or be denied.

A Girl in King Alistair’s Court – Complete - Think of this story as the Dragon Age version of A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Appearance by all of our Dragon Age:Origins and Awakening favorites.

The Count of Monte Antivo –Complete - This is the Ferelden story of the Count of Monte Cristo which will be loosely based on both the movie and the book. It's a dark tale, but fear not this romantic at heart writer loves a happy ending. It will mostly be told through Alistair's POV.

Memoirs - Incomplete – I actually ended up using the ending for this story in BSSM. If I can think up a new direction for this I will finish it. This is the sequel to Truth, Lies, and Consequences. Reflections of Bella, Alistair, Eli, Ella and Duncan as seen through Bella's great granddaughter's eyes.

The Truth – It’s all about Love – Complete - This is a chapter in my main story Truth, Lies, and Consequences. A couple people had emailed me that this was their favorite chapter and they thought it could stand alone. For those following the story, this is the night Baby Ella is conceived. Enjoy!

Waiting in the Wings – Incomplete – This is the prequel to Truth, Lies, and Consequences. It is the background story of how Fergus and Leliana met and fell in love, but it also will shed more light on what was going on with Alistair and Bella while they were separated from each other.

What You Will - Complete -Loosely based on the Twelfth Night.To keep the templars off of her trail as her family escapes Ferelden,Charlie Hawke completely changes her identity and her gender.Once in Kirkwall she must continue the charade despite her growing attraction for Anders.
