My Stories and Stuff:

Vagabundo Perdido
A friend of mine (and I think a reviewer or two) commented on the Harry Potter-esque feel of poor Bridget's reception into the Academy. Well, seeing as her father was extremely famous, then took off on a wild goose chase after "New Worlds" and never returned, is the reaction all that unexpected?

In Progress, But Probably Not Gonna Finish It

Defy All Odds
This switches between many different POVs, as Princess Alexandria and her friends try to make it home after being kidnapped and mercilessly tortured. They have to cross the entire length of the enemy's country without being caught, with a large company of refugees to drag them down. Their guide Darren is their best chance of survival after years of information-gathering in the Margetin Prison, but when a devastating secret is revealed about his heritage, questions are raised. Who can they trust?

In Progress, But Probably Not Gonna Finish It

Should Have Waited
Cat Cullinan has a wonderful boyfriend, but he's been getting pushier and pushier lately. What happens when she finally gives in to the pressure and sleeps with him? How will she handle the responsibilty she has suddenly shouldered? Told through a series of IM conversations and phone calls, a format I enjoy writing, but find it slightly difficult.

Oh-So Therapeutic
Based on my own stay in a psychiatric ward. Rather interesting, if I do say so myself. Dedicated to Katie, who commissioned me for this, and to Tirzah, the most faithful person I've ever met despie the circumstances.
