I'm going to try and make this like the mini-biographies in the jackets of books...(grins)

Laura Schiller was born on July 11th, 1990, in Germany, in a small town by the Baltic Sea named Rostock. She moved to Canada when she was three years old and now lives there with her mother and father, studying Creative Arts, Literature and Languages at college. Later on, she plans to be a professional translator.

She enjoys ballroom dancing, Italian food, sweets, watching anime (exclusively shoujo), listening to music (preferably romantic ballads), and reading (especially fantasy).

Her main inspiration comes from her own life, newspaper articles, or whatever she is currently reading. She has been telling stories to her long-suffering parents since age seven and is happy to have found a website full of other people who will read them. Please enjoy!

(Not exactly professional...but who cares. By the way, the picture is Liv Tyler, not me. I found it on Google Images. Isn't she beautiful?)
