Author has written 44 stories for Life, Fantasy, Young Adult, Family, Love, General, Fantasy, Politics, Supernatural, and General.

My real name is not Maria Courtiarre, but it is the name of one of my ancestors. Pretty, though, isnt it? I love writing. My dream is to be a writer when I "grow up".

A few people have commented on my...er...tendency to start writing and stop. I apoligize. Along with being a procrastinater I also lose the "steam" of writing after awhile. I was hoping that putting my stories on here would help. If you want to read more of a specific story just email me or something. Nothing like a little motivation to get the mind turning.

Tell me what you think of my stories I have on here. If I have an unfinished story on here that you want to read more of, just email me or something. I'll be glad to continue writing it.

Good luck with your own writing, I know it is hard, frustrating and sometimes downright depressing. Writer's Block is a terrible disease, haha.

Thanks for reading my stories and poems, I appreciate all feed back.
