Author has written 52 stories for Lord of the Rings, Hidalgo, Tru Calling, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Red Eye.

Hey, I'm Tess (my real name is extremely long) and I used to attend high school in an abandoned loony bin (okay, mental hospital).

Some of my favorite things (in no particular order) are 'Red Eye', 'Criminal Minds', 'LotR', 'Harry Potter', 'Tru Calling', 'House, M.D.', 'Bones', fan fiction, horses, writing, reading, movies, and music.

My favorite authors at the moment are Lisa Gardner, Iris Johansen, Tami Hoag (Dark Horse is my favorite), V.C. Andrews, Scott Westerfeld, and I have a weakness for Nicholas Sparks. If The Notebook or A Walk to Remember can't make you cry, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

I enjoy writing and reading fan fiction very much whenever I have time! When I'm not working on an update, or reading, I usually spend my time training horses, tutoring my cousin, or writing original fiction.

Oh, my psycho friend (not nearly as crazy as I am though) convinced me to help her write a story, so it's under her pen name: Murphy's Penguin Factory and it's called 'Out of Place'. It's completely random, but it was fun to write.

I also completed my first full-length novel recently which was based on the fan fic of the same name. Check out Coldest Degree on fictionpress here! UPDATE: Coldest Degree will probably be taken down and reposted (the original fic one) since I'm working on a complete re-write.

The sequel to Coldest Degree, which is called Fatal Target, can be found on my fictionpress account here. The website for Fatal Target is up and running here.

The original fiction version of the 'Obsession' series can be found on my fictionpress account as well.

September 30th, 2007:

I'm finally back to working on fan fics. I recently lost all my data for my novels and fan fics, so I'm having a rough time getting back into the groove of writing. Hopefully I'll be updating at least once a week now.

January 11th, 2008:

Fan fic updating is still going slow. I'm heading into mid-term week and I have two college classes starting up soon as well as tech crew for a play. The plan is to finish Total Strangers by March and hopefully Guilty As Charged around the same time.

May 23rd, 2008:

I'm almost done with all my high school obligations. I've pretty much decided against getting a second job this summer so that I can focus on my writing. Guilty As Charged has finally been updated after many months. I should have a Total Strangers update any day now (fingers crossed!).

July 14th, 2008:

I'm working on some updates, but I just got back from vacation. I'm also dealing with a lot of computer issues. Plus I'm doing JulNoWriMo in order to finish Breaking Point before I leave. I do hope to have an update soon.
