Yo! I'm Zoiy, your friendly neighborhood geek. I write mainly Harry Potter, also Law & Order: CI sometimes. I have a lot of stories in my head that I've yet to write down, but I'm working on it, so check back often. I'd like to take this opportunity to give a big shout-out to my best friend and the best beta in the universe, Justine. She goes by Rosie or Silvia Black on a lot of sites, so if you see her out there, say hi. Also, if you ever see a Zoiy Grockle, it is quite probably me, so feel free to start a conversation.

Oh, and I share this account with my sister, Zeggy, hence the reason I changed the penname from "Zoiy Grockle" to "ZE Grockle." She writes House and NCIS fics.
