Author has written 5 stories for Historical, and Fantasy.

In a nutshell, I:

Go to college in NYC (but I call Pittsburgh home)
Rarely have time to write due to said institution of higher learning monopolizing most of my time
And what time I do have free, I like to kick back
How so? you wonder
Hitting the town with my friends, watching shows like The Daily Show, House, Tudors and movies like The Princess Bride, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, 10 Things I Hate About You on the 13" screen of my computer and reading novels like Gone with the Wind, Harry Potter, Pillars of the Earth, Bridget Jones's Diary, and The Wheel of Time.
I also use Oxford commas, courtesy of the school newspaper where I copyedit.

Story Stats:

Daughter of the Sea
Officially finished on Fictionpress! Editing in real life, and then off to agents. Also considering title change. The Calistiad? Or is that too grandiose and pretentious?
Wow! Basic Paint Cover Mock-up.
And Another One
C alista
H adrian/Hortensius

-of course character approximations are not perfect, but it's a good general idea-

The Prince's Courtesan
At this point, it feels like I'll never pick up this story again but I am ever hopeful.
Barely Readable Cover Mock-up
Music Video Visual Inspiration
The Puppet Queen: A Tale of the Sleeping Beauty
Began new chapter, but the going is rough. Mostly, my time is monopolized by editing DOTS.
For shits and giggles: Cover Mock-up
Selene
G wydion
Court Spy
Considering a scrap/complete rewrite. I began this story when I was 12 and it's about time I updated the actual plot to a more sophisticated cognitive level.
Truly DISMAL Cover Mock-up
The Ascending Dawn: the Arabian Nights
First actual chapter up—of course, this is much shorter than what the chapters generally will be.
Shaherazade
Sultana Fataneh
S ultan Shahryar
Coming Soon:
The Nightly Inheritance
So, a new story that I have been mulling over is the Twelve Dancing Princesses, but instead of your traditional setting, they will be in the Ottomon Empire before the backdrop of the whirling dervishes, the harem, and court intrigue of the world's most powerful empire.
Now that I think about it. This will likely never come up because I'm a desperately slow writer.
In Search of Paradise
Evelyn Temperance Percy's grandfather was a crony of John Milton's during the Cromwell days and in accordance with his wishes, she visits the ailing and blind Milton to act as his scribe as he writes Paradise Lost. And then there will be a love story for Evelyn with some guy and Milton, even though he's pretty anti-woman will find himself respecting her which in turn slightly alters his portrayal of Eve.
The Forgotten Elaine
Elaine of Garlot is the youngest Tintagel sister that legends forgot—no, not of Astolat, the Grail Maiden or the Peerless. The Elaine among many Elaines that the world forgot,she bore witness to the rise and fall of King Arthur as his half-sister. Torn between the scheming of her blood sisters, Morgaine and Morgause, and the love she bore for her brother, Elaine makes the decision to straddle the lines in a world where choices are all or nothing.
There is no story and yet there is a cover
