So, I decided to put a little more info on here since every other author page I look at has more detail. I'm a full-time pediatric homecare nurse and a part-time published smut author (had to use that description because o0-Constance-0o thought it was funny, lol) living in Texas. I've published 13 or 14 novels and novellas (too lazy to go count right now), mostly ebooks through 4 different publishers, but also 3 print novels and 2 anthologies. They're all paranormal or erotic romance, mostly both, with one m/m romance thrown in for variety. I also cowrote a short and extremely ridiculous parody to a VERY popular paranormal romance series with a good friend of mine (who is also a published author in the same genres as me), and a mutual friend forwarded it to the series' author. She thought it was hilarious and actually included it in her "companion" novel to that series! Imagine our shock and delight to see an actual FANFIC of it on here! We often tell each other how sad it is that the story with the widest distribution was written while we were drunk and giggling like a couple of loons... ha!

Yes, I'm old enough to drink. That's all the information you're getting about that, you nosy little nosy-person, you. I also have two sons, and am probably one of the few moms to get her kids into Naruto and not the other way around. Yeah, I'm awesome like that.

I love playing with fanfic because it kicks the Muse in the azz when she doesn't want to cooperate with me. I love reading fanfics that are Mary-Sue-free, which is unfortunately rarer than it should be. Perfect characters just aren't that interesting to me. I found this hilarious website with a Mary-Sue Test... check it out! http://www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm And yay, Suyo (my OC) only rates a 23...

Speaking of Suyo, right now I'm playing with a Naruto fanfic called Necessary Things because Kakashi, he is the definition of HOT. Oh those damaged bad boys! -swoons- He's one of the few characters I find equally hot gay or straight--he can pretty much do no wrong, in my always-humble opinion (stop laughing)--so in my favorite fics list, you'll find both het and yaoi. Open your mind and read both because the yaoi, it won't kill you, and it only hurts for a moment. -wink- And you never know, you might actually like it...

A bit of useless trivia--I share something in common with Kimura Suyo, and that is that I also have no toenails. Of course, unlike her, I had mine removed by an actual doctor. It did teach me something--you can have them yanked off, but if they don't use acid on the actual bone beneath to kill the roots afterward, they'll grow back. Since anesthetic shots don't work too well on me, I am intimately aware of two facts now: a) having your toenails peeled off hurts like HELL, and b) that acid? HURTS WORSE. (Then they neutralize it with rubbing alcohol. They pour it into the hole in the raw, bare flesh where your toenail used to be. No, I'm not making that up.) It'd make quite an effective torture, I thought, so I inflicted it on my character. Yes, I'm cruel. This isn't news to anyone who knows me. Bwahahaha...

Finally, I'll use this spot to gloat, because I can't find anywhere else to say this--HELL FREAKING YEAH on Naruto chapter 449!! I KNEW IT!! And that's all there is to say about THAT.
