Celebrating my eleventh anniversary on the site! Woohoo!

My pen name is pronounced - "Sa" (as the "sa" in "salute") and "ti" (like saying the word "tie"). Just in case anyone was wondering how that was pronounced...

I am a native of Belvedere, SC (which is located pretty much just across the state line from Augusta, GA - the home of the Masters golf tournament, for those golf fans out there). I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina - Columbia (the original USC). I got a degree in anthropology (that's the study of man, where he came from, and where he's going - NOT dinosaurs, that's paleontology, which I had actually once thought about studying) and I’m interested in working in a museum...eventually. I've been married to my high school sweetheart, who is in the navy, for nine years now. We're currently living in Virginia. We have a daughter who is currently three. I'm thirty-one and a stay-at-home mom.

I almost exclusively write fantasy and the vast majority of that's romance. My stories range across all ratings with most being T. I plan to eventually post a lot more stories (I have quite a list to choose from) and may end up putting up at least one of my novellas - I've written four of them but they all need major revisions. I've had many story ideas come to me in the past few years but I have been unable to finish most of them...though many of the ones I have managed to get a lot written on I cannot post here due to their sexual content. I have, though, reworked one into a T-rate story - "Emissary of Death" - and it's currently being posted. There's a second one I'm also planning to redo into an M-rated story since I like the story so much, I just need to get around to finishing off the storyline! However I've been writing stories since sixth grade - that's over twenty years of writing - I'm sure I can find plenty of stories that are acceptable to be posted here, though most of the oldest of my stories need a lot of editing since they were very "young" stories. And I’m planning to try to get to those at some point to see which I can fix.

I know I had a two month break in posting "Emissary of Death" but I'm hoping that's over with. I got a bit of writer's block on it and ended up going to another story that needed some serious revision and I spent mid-February to early April editing and in deep meditative thought on the nature of the sort of magic in that story. I have begun working diligently on EoD again, though, and there should be a new chapter every two or three weeks unless I get another horrible bout of writer's block again. Current chapter estimate is now sitting at twenty-five chapters so it's getting close to half done in the posting. I should be finishing chapter fifteen soon and sending it off to my beta reader.

As for the sequel for "PaS", it's not gone anywhere in the past many months. I know what I want to do with it but I just have no desire to work on that story currently. I like what I do have so far, though, and I'm sure if I ever get it posted all my readers will like it as well. I will let you all know when there is any major progress concerning that story, however, which I hope will happen by the end of the year.

To keep more up-to-date on what's going on with my writing, go to my LiveJournal page where my username is Lenaeslynn. You’ll get lots more information on my stories and their progress – and maybe even some “secret” projects of mine. I update at least once a month and more often when there's actual stuff worth updating everyone on.

In-progress -
Emissary of Death (T, fantasy/drama) - Being murdered at sixteen is bad enough. Learning all your recent past lives were unpleasant is worse. Thankfully, Katrelle gets a respite from the God of the Dead when he ends her cycle of lives. But being dead isn’t her end… (The story's not quite as ominous as the title makes it sound...and there is romance in this story, it's just not at the forefront.)

I'm almost always writing something (or trying to, at the very least) and I've been trying to post a least one new story a year.

I love twists and there are usually a few in my stories...so sit down, buckle up, and prepare for a few shocks along the way!

I do hope you enjoy all my stories. I love reviews, so please give me one if you like my story! And feel free to shoot me a PM...I'll be glad to hear from you. I'd love to hear questions, comments, and even suggestions!

Information regarding cover art for my stories -
"Dragon's Gift" - art courtesy i-r-annet @ deviantART and used with permission, though I did repixelate the background to blue myself
"The Princess and the Swords" - art by me using an MS Word available picture so I assume I own those rights
"Emissary of Death" - art by me using a public domain picture (I could find no copyright info among several sites that used it at least) of a single poppy, repeated eight times

Recommended reading (I don't do much reading, so the list is kinda short) –
The Island and The Ring by Laura C. Stevenson (can be hard-to-find, your library or some websites might have it)
The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King (this is NOT one of his horror stories and is the only one of his books I really like)
Song in the Silence by Elizabeth Kerner (the first of a trilogy but definitely the best)
