Author has written 16 stories for Firebringer Trilogy, and Mass Effect.

Possibly-mad college student from Boston with an unhealthy obsession for both the Red Sox and baseball in general. Recovered anime and manga addict (seriously, people, crack is cheaper), former World of Warcraft addict (misses her cane-wielding, chain-smoking, whiskey-swigging, snarktastic blood elf warlock, though), current Star Wars: The Old Republic adict, military history nerd, voracious reader of books, wannabe novelist.

Been focusing mostly on original stories of late, though when the plot bunny bites a Firebringer Trilogy fic shows up here every now and then. And now Mass Effect. Needs more non-fandom related hobbies.
