I'm happy you visited.

A very special thank you to the authors who have provided encouraging words and entertaining stories for my benefit all these years. They are long lasting, precious gifts indeed. To all who have chosen to visit my stories, I welcome your thoughts and reviews. Mistakes, criticisms, and commentary all contribute to feedback I can learn from. Please know reviews mean a lot to me and are always appreciated. I hope you'll take the time to leave one.

For those who have reviewed my work, I send an extra big thank you your way. I've been able to make changes to my stories thanks to your commentary, and you've helped me to grow. If you've reviewed a story and would like to ask for the same consideration in return, please feel free to PM me. It always puts a smile on my face when fanfiction authors can learn and share with each other.

I've decided to experiment with various characters and writing styles. Your input will help me to learn what works and what doesn't. Thanks so much!

I'm so happy the Fanfiction Review Movement (FRM) has been steadily growing. The FRM is a movement, whereby readers pay it forward by reviewing the works they enjoy. Those who have joined believe in positive constructive commentary to better the writing and story quality on this site. Everyone in this group encourages reading with reviewing in a signed review format and has been gracious with reviews of those who have reviewed their works when they can. Please know you don't have to be an author to join this movement, it's fine just to pledge to review as a reader.

I would like to recognize these wonderful authors on letting me know they've made the pledge to support the Fanfiction Review Movement (FRM) along with myself:

Gifts touch lives in such special ways, and a precious one was presented to me by Nairil who enjoyed, "Hanabi's Handiwork." The cover image was hand drawn for this story, and with her permission it's attached for you to enjoy. She's titled it: "Don't Mess with Hanabi."

Thanks so much for your awesome gift Nairil. Every time I look at it, I'm touched beyond words.

By the way, if anyone has an illustration they've created that you think goes well with one of my stories and you would be willing to allow me to use it as the cover picture, please PM me.
