I've been on FictionPress for about a year now, and as before, I want to see what other people besides friends like (or disliked) about my stories/poems/expository writings.

I was born in America and lived there for eleven years. Then my whole life changed when we went on a missionary trip to a country that I had never even heard of: Albania. Turns out, after I finished being upset about leaving my friends, I found that Albania is a pretty cool place. In fact, at the end of the year, I thought Albania was way cooler than America. When we left I was pretty upset. When I got back to America, I felt like my heart was across the ocean. However, after my family went back the next summer, I felt completely at peace with living here in America, for now. I'll get to Europe again someday.

I write in my spare time and I like to draw. One of my favorite pasttimes, is, like many, listening to music (only when it's quiet). I like animals, most people (lol!), and actually...school (when we're not doing "investigations" in math).

I've traveled a lot. From my home in Oregon I've been to England, Austria, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Arizona Colorado, Montana, Washington, California, Washington D.C., and Chicago, Illinois. All this and I'm still young! I love traveling and I sometimes get ideas for my stories from the places I've been. Such as my story It's a Cat's Life.

I like to meet new people and wouldn't mind chatting with people online. My e-mail is globetrotterk24@aol.com.

I would REALLY appreciate it if you would read my stories and review them. That'd be really AWESOME! Trust me, I can take even the most judgmental and/or harsh reviews. Say what you truly think so I can improve my writing please! (But be specific, if you just say it stinks then I won't know what to do about it...lol). I really do mean this from the bottom of my heart. Grade me on my work!

Thanks to everyone who has given reviews to my stories. I think you guys are sweet!!

I have several stories posted, my most successful being He Comes in the Night. This one I'm trying to get out as quick as I can but still slow enough to make it a good story. If you like exciting, mysterious stories, this is one you should read. Sorry for all you guys that are following it. Lately, I've been brainstorming ideas to keep the story moving, yet not give away too much. Please be patient and bear with me in this!

I also have several mismatched poems that I've written over the years. Most of them are optomistic, as I am not the average depressing poem writer. I prefer poems to take you out of the problems of the world unless they are very deep and make you think about things that need to be thought about.

One of my other stories, Invisible Death is kind of a Manga book (though I don't usually write Manga). It's coming along pretty well but is not yet at its most exciting stages.

It's A Cat's Life is a story about a streetcat in Albania who get in big trouble when he boards the wrong bus and it takes him clear to the biggest city in Albania. It's kind of a fun, interesting story that also informs you about Albanian culture.

As you can see, I write lots of different styles. Sci-Fi is my specialty as I love writing it just a tad more than others. I have a lot of ideas for such books that are still in my head. Keep a lookout for new ones!
