My profile picture: Henry Morgan/Jo Martinez from the show Forever. It was recently cancelled, but there is a petition to sign (108k signatures and growing daily) and a twitter campaign to save the show. Since I adore the show, and this pairing, I thought I'd get a profile pic to reflect my love!

Update (02/1/15): The awesome VampireBasket (Luna Shadow on youtube) here on has created a mind-blowing two-part video for my Gaara/Hinata fic Shadows. I wanted to put the links here on my profile so you all could appreciate her incredible work, too! Part 1: I'm With You and Part 2: Demons

Update (10/9/14): The incredible Renoa Heartilly here on has drawn some incredible artwork for some of my Sasuke/Hinata pieces. I wanted to post some links here so you all can see her amazing works (from her blog idontliveinatent on tumblr), too! For Coffee Connections: Their First Encounter, Their First Date, Thoughtful Moments, and The Fic Cover! For Blind Faith: Sasuke Showing His Gratitude, and The Calm Before The Storm. And, for Entanglements: A Gorgeous Fan Poster!

Update (11/17/2013): For those of you who have read the Pirates and Hatters series stories before, and those who just discovered the series: I know I've mentioned a multi-chapter story in the past, but I'm afraid Scars is the last piece in the series. I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but the muse for the P&H series has been silent too long, and I've grown and changed too much as a writer to be able to pick it up again. I am so, so sorry to disappoint all of you who were looking forward to reading the multi-chapter story, plus future oneshots in this collection. As for loose strings I left dangling, I leave it up to your own rich imaginations as to what happens beyond The End. Again, I apologize for ending the series at Scars, but I feel like it came around to a satisfactory place to end, anyway. Thank you all so much to everyone who has read and left me reviews or sent me PMs saying you enjoyed this series. I will forever cherish each and every one. Thank you all.

Update (6/24/11): My Covert Affairs fic entitled The Newlywed Affair has been removed from this site as per my own decision. I am no longer interested in the show, and thus have lost my inspiration and motivation to complete this story. Even though I'm taking this story down, I am so thankful to all of you who took the time to read, review, and add my story to your favorite and alert lists. You all were amazing and supportive, and I appreciate you all. However, please do not PM me and ask me to e-mail you the story, because I'm afraid my decision is final. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding.

Important Note: I am a born-again Christian and take my faith very seriously. I do not use foul language or write explicit sexual content in any of my stories, but I still hope to provide you all with entertaining and wonderful fanfiction -- a little something for everyone of all ages and tastes to enjoy. Thank you all for reading my stories and giving me a chance, I appreciate you all so much.
