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.

After almost a decade, I've recently come across not one but TWO things that got my creative juices flowing: the awesome movie Megamind, and the wonderful TV series Phineas and Ferb. If you haven't seen either of these, you NEED to. Trust me on this. Rent the movies (yes, PnF has a movie, too) and enjoy!

Besides anime, I love science fiction/fantasy with dashes of humor, drama and romance. Usually in the 'young adult' age range.

Favorite Music: Instrumentally, I love piano, harp, flute, and hammered dulcimer; also Celtic music. Vocally, I love catchy songs with lyrics about love, hope and having fun, no matter the genre. Recently I discovered the fantastic (Phin-tastic?) world of Phineas and Ferb, whose wonderfully prolific creators write at least one short song per episode, most of which are incredibly catchy. At over a hundred songs now, I'm having fun learning them all! _ Best of all, they use just about every type of music imaginable, from rock to country to sea shanties to rap to Jamaican tunes to the blues to love songs to historical working-man 'chain gang' prisoner tunes, even hilarious TV jingle music.
