Hello all--

First of all I love to write stories! If I didn't, I wouldn't be here! I guess I could blame it on my 6th grade teacher who told me that I should never give up on my skills as a writer. Also when I was in college, I has a Freshman Composition class where we had to write ten themes during the quarter and the Professor read three of mine to the class! Hey--I'm no J.K. Rowling or Stephanie Meyer; I just like to write.

Most of my characters are based on people that I have met- musicians, movie stars, etc. so they have a lot of quirky personalities. See my myspace page for pics with celebrities:

About me? I am somewhere between the ages of 21 & 45(I've been mistaken for both ages!) and am a piano and flute teacher at a music store. I have been playing piano since the age of 5 and flute since the age of 9. I also love to draw, paint, knit, make jewelry and cook when I have the chance.

I welcome your reviews to my stories, just please be open and honest. I will take what you say into consideration, but doesn't necessarily mean I heed to your advice. What I do in my stories is meant to be enjoyable, not factorial. After all, this site IS called 'fiction' press!

Anything else you'd like to know, please e-mail me!
