Update: Sunday September 13, 2009

I'm still alive everyone. Sorry for the long breaks between updates. I truly didn't realize that much time had passed. So many things have been effecting my writing lately and most of it hadn't been for the better. Inspiration had been running low, especially for Hell Hounds. For the last few months some family problems have surfaced and I've been dealing with the aftermath as of yet

The aftermath is much sweeter than the situation I assure you. With the last few weeks I've moved into a glorious apartment which I've named The Caravan and have started summer vacation. With the holiday I promise to update more often. The move has also brighten my spirits and my muses have since come back.

"How do you get rid of a vampire?" I didn't answer right away. Adam beat me to the punch, "Don't invite them into your house to begin with." - revised - Patricia Briggs. Mercedes Thompsons series.

My name is Stacy. Call me Ace. Stace. Stasia. Or CL. It really doesn't matter. I'll answer to pretty much anything, even "Hey You!" Depending on the circumstances.

Random Information: I love to run. Sometimes I need it more than my computer... gasp. I paint, read, and write in my spare time. I study different styles of martial arts and find pressure points fascinating. I dance when I need inspiration. My CD collection involves metal bands like Metallica and Off Spring to Japanese singers Kumi Koda and Nomi Amora and some rock like Collective Soul.

Family Tree: A lot of people have requested a family tree considering how many characters there are in CL and HH. So here it is:

Durand Family Tree:

Alexander:

Nathaniel(Cologne): Vladimir(United States, Virginia), Sebastian(rogue), Pavel

Michael: Greg

Gabriel
