Author has written 60 stories for Animorphs, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marching Band, SkiFree, X-overs, Myst/Riven, Giver, Orson Scott Card, Monty Python, Numb3rs, Minesweeper, Wicked, and Tom Stoppard.

I'm Ember. I write stuff. Lots of stuff.

You can see some of it here. Lots of it is old. Too old for me to really be proud of. It's still here anyway.

Some of it is finished. That's good. Some of it isn't. It might be finished in the future. I don't want to give up on my long-term projects...but at the same time, I can't promise updates any time soon.

Some of it is on other sites. That always cuts into my fanfiction time. It's been on a back burner for me for a while now, but I get the feeling there will always be a new project to start.

Specifically, I have a new project in the marching band category. It's coming soon.

Hope you like it.
