OK, I live in Portugal, where it's sunny and where beautiful sandy beaches are just minutes away. Perhaps that is why many of my stories have similar settings. I love girls, girls with an attitude, but who are in touch with their femininity. You can say that I'm a lesbian then, but somehow this word is more political than a description of who I am.

I have an obsession with stories involving two sisters. I am fascinated by the sister bond, and I do understand it because I have a sister myself. I love the intimacy that only two female siblings can share, because they grew up together, have a common history, parents, and genes.

My true name is Maria João, but please call me Jan, if you don't know how to pronounce my real name. LOL.

Favorite hobbies: writing, reading, swimming, going to the beach, eating out, being with friends, watching a good movie with someone you love.

Favorite quote: "Who are you, my dyke in shining armour?" (From the Hex show)
