Hello. I have finished my first story, Guardian, and am presently posting the second in the series, SoulFire. Both stories are completed and available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback as well as on Barnes and Noble in Nook. Legacy is now in the works. The three books make up The Guardian Trilogy. I've also posted two one-shots, Regency pieces written during the engagement period of Darcy and Elizabeth. I taught school, mostly high school English, for 25 years, and now work several part time jobs, including teaching music in a charter school, teaching piano, and acting as our Music Academy Director.

I love all sorts of music, from classical to hip hop, and even a little country occasionally.

Debussy is my favorite composer, Robert Frost my favorite poet, and Jane Austen my favorite author.

Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Person of Interest, So You Think You Can Dance, and The Closer are my favorite TV shows.

My taste in movies runs to science fiction: Star Trek, Star Wars, Airbender, the Twilight series, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Dark Angel, Ironman, Superman, Captain America, The Matrix, The Fifth Element, Bladerunner, Tron, Avatar, and nearly any other scifi movie. I also love period movies like Pride and Prejudice (1995, BBC, Colin Firth), Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, The Inheritance, Daniel Daronda, Little Dorrit, Wives and Daughters, Jane Eyre, Tristan and Isolde, and North and South (Richard Armitage!!!!). I just bought the Anthony Trollope series.

I enjoy playing Words With Friends and Scrabble on Facebook.
