Author has written 12 stories for Family, General, Humor, Humor, Kids, Life, and Young Adult. Wife of one, mother of one, daughter of two. Resident of New England, owner of two silly budgies. Blue ones. I also like horses, cats, and dogs, and want to move to Europe. My first novel, Letters to Erik, is coming out in January 2008. It's a continuation of (and is based solely upon) Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera, which is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. I'm a sucker for a "redeemed by love" storyline. This fictionpress account will be used mostly for experimental writings, dabbling in new genres, etc., so I welcome heavy and helpful critiques of anything I post here. Telling me "your rhyme scheme is a little off in lines 7 through 12" is helpful. Telling me "ur da bomb!!!!1!!!" though flattering, is not exactly helpful. Feel free to critique my work heavily; it won't hurt my feelings, and it will help me to improve as a writer. | |||||
