Great News! I have just sold my very first original story entitled "Ghosts" to the Hadley Rille Books' Footprints anthology. Click on the links if you'd like to see the cover art or other books from Hadley Rille. There's no timeline as of yet, but keep an eye on my MySpace page for updates on that.

Due to a recent rule change on Anime Spiral, I've deleted the adult version of Completed Perfection from that site. Sorry if you were looking for the lemon, but the less graphic version is still available here on this site.

Also, I really appreciate all the response I've had to my stories lately...mostly to My Brother's Keeper. Most inquiries revolve around when I'm going to finish the story and when the sequel will come out. That story is complete, but due to current personal events the sequel will be delayed for a while. And by that I mean that probably not to be posted anytime this year :-(. I am currently in the process of writing my grandfather's life story...he's ninety-one and fought in Europe in WWII, so this is a pretty big deal for me personally as well as historically since that generation is about to be lost to us. Also, I'm in the process of getting my original novel and a short story ready for submission to some contests (Wish me luck!!), so between all this, my kids and my jobs...my time is very limited. I have not forgotten the stories, though, so keep an eye on my profile for further information.

My Brother's Keeper was nominated for Best Comedy on IYFG. Thank you to those who nominated and all of you who read the stories.

Um, hi. I love to write, but that's about all I can do well on a computer, so please be patient with the technology dunce. I just discovered this profile thing. Well, I am now 25, have two kids, a husband and now I FINALLY have a bachelors degree in English, though my current job is giving private Spanish lessons-lol, go figure! I live in Texas and I'm the only fantasy and anime fan in my family, so it's nice to find sites like this. I hope that my stories are enjoyable and a good read, and I'll welcome any constructive criticism on any aspect of my writing. I write my own fiction as well, so fan fics are good practice and the criticism I receive here will improve my writing in general. Um, I don't know what else to write, but if I think of something you might want to know about me, I'll put it up.

Okay, I also love Monty Python and Douglas Adams' Hitchiker trilogy (of 5). JRR Tolkien is my favorite author, and C.S. Lewis and Neil Gaiman are up there close to him. My favorite fan-fic author is Winterzforgotten, who also does me the honor of betaing my stories. Go to her profile on this site to check out what wonderful stories she's done as well as find links to her amazing music videos based on the Inuyasha characters.

In anime and manga, my favorite is Inuyasha, while I also enjoy Full Metal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, Samurai Champloo, Trinity Blood, Bleach, Hellsing and, well, a lot of others; but mostly those I can watch for free on Cartoon Network. So far, all I have written for is Inuyasha. I like to include as many of the characters as I can, but I love to focus on Sesshomaru. He's such a complex and enigmatic character who is so fun to explore.
