=About the Author=
The basic facts are this: I'm 21 years old, from a tiny town in the heartland, and the mother of a gorgeous, fuzzy pig in disguise as a puppy (who firmly believes that my sole purpose of existance is to feed him, rub his belly, and be used as a personal chew toy). I have my associates degree, and am currently taking a sabatical to figure out what the heck I want to do with my life. (Just for the record, it is decidedly not: biology research, veterinary medicine, secondary unified science teacher, or raise cattle. (Cattle are scary.)) Eventually - and that's a big eventually - I would love to be a homemaker that writes when her children nap. Considering as that eventually kind of hinges on finding someone worth procreating with, I am currently discovering that I enjoy the tediousness of being a banker. I'm good at tedious, and I can leave my job at the door come 5 o'clock. It works for now.

I love to read, watch old movies, and prod said disguised pig around the block for a jog. I also make a mean cuppa hot cocoa, and enjoy cooking obscene amounts of food. I haven't perfected the art of cooking for one yet. I'm fairly laid back, and can laugh at anything - most often, and loudest, at myself. Feel free to drop me a line anytime, I promise I don't bite. ;)

The Ultimate Storylist
This site (which is listed as my homepage), focuses on compiling lists of well written and developed stories for every genre, interviews and reviews from favorite authors (both published and internet writers), and tutorials for writing, graphics, and html. Aside from that, it features an amazing forum that has a place for advertising, running ideas for and chunks of a story by others for critique, and just hanging out and pal-ing around in general. You can also nominate favorite stories to be added to the list, featured as the story of the week, or even suggest the author to be featured in an author interview.

==Original Stories==

Bain of My Existence: Ride Wild - It's a rewrite! (Number, oh 4, if I've kept count right.) Currently there are far less chapters, however, each chapter takes in oh, say 2 1/2 to 3 chapters of the original that I had posted. I'll spare you the summary, since you can read that below, but I will give you the tiny peice of trivia that Piper's Grove - and a good few of the characters - is entirely based on my hometown. Write what you know, right?

Getting to Happily Ever After - I firmly believe that everyone gets a shot at making it to 'happily ever after', but getting there is damn hard work. No holds barred, it's a fairytale, there are ups and downs along the way though. Besides, life wouldn't be any fun if there weren't.
