Reading is my passion. My favorite types of books are fantasy, sci-fi, and romance. I also adore the A&E/BBC six-hour Pride & Prejudice, LOTR, Vin Diesel's voice, Twizzlers, and peppermint flavored anything. Besides writing, I decorate fancy cakes and wrangle my children. I have a M.S. in Zoology and a B.A. in Biology with a Japanese minor. I also have two rambunctious kids. I have an Indygodusk tumbler with pictures inspired by my stories.

Story Status:

Author Update: (03/30/2018) Starting in April, I'm going to write the Harry Potter sequel to "Dispelling the Silence," called, "Dispelling the Lies." I'm going to post it on a challenge site called 'Rough Trade' first, so you can read it there for about two months. Then I'm going to edit and polish it so I can put it up here. Pictures and things will probably end up on my tumblr too. Thanks!

(02/17/18) I finally finished "No More Pussyfooting Around," people! I'm so giddy! What's next? I can't decide. Maybe a gender bent Stargate Atlantis story I wrote 30,000 words of last summer, maybe a Harry Potter sequel to "Dispelling the Silence," maybe finishing one of my other old WIPS, or even something else new and crazy. The sky's the limit! Woot!

Hakama Dake WON for best Kenshin & Kaoru Romance/WAFF in the RKRC for 2005! Thank you so much and Yay!

The most awesome Quenya translated Hakama Dake into Italian. Wowzers! Go find her if you know Italian.

Passion ...

Passion, it lies in all of us. Sleeping...waiting...and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir...open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us...guides us...Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love...the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.
