Facts: I'm a 37 year old female in New Hampshire, USA. More than anything in the world, I love to immerse myself in other worlds through stories. It doesn't matter to me if they're from TV or books, as long as the story is well-told. I hope you will get the same pleasure out of reading my stories as I got from writing them.

I go by the name Yume Sakka on several sites, including Anime Nation forum, and by Eloquent Quill (or a version of that name) on several sites, including my Photobucket account, which has quite a few pictures that serve as illustrations for my Slayers fic Only Stone on the Outside, including wonderful fan art that some of my loyal readers have contributed--much appreciated! On Live Journal, I am dream_quill.

Besides anime, I love science fiction/fantasy with dashes of humor, drama and romance.
