Author has written 22 stories for Romance, General, Young Adult, and General. "I don't know what I want to be yet, I just know that I want to be it." (from Breaking Benjamin lyrics to 'You Fight Me') WHAT MAKES ME WRITE: Writing helps me to create the worlds that make sense to me. My life is full of stories most people wouldn't believe, and putting words down on paper has always been a good coping mechanism for reality and its all too often unfair outcomes. Writing is my form of rebellion, intelligence; freedom. WHAT'S MY GENRE? Variety is the ultimate fun. Going to the "Other" section or the "Everything Else" tab of the everyday world brings to light so many things that we otherwise may never sense in our daily routines. Most of my stories are listed as romance, but I do have a wide range of horror, adventure, poetry and comedy that comes along from time to time. LIKES (a few of many): Rainy days, porcupines, cantaloupe, Breaking Benjamin, frozen drinks, paint, trying to spell with my left hand, base violins, researching, stale wedding mints, colour, balconies, claymation and little known films with superb scripting. DISLIKES (more than a few): Stepping in gum, dairy cow smell, Evanescence after Ben Moody left, anything gray in color, hypocrites, spicy foods, regulations that don't fit the issue correctly, labels that won't scratch off, and well known films with horrible scripting. PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE: As some may have noticed, some of my novels were published on FP before. I took a break between 2006-2009 and I'm back to represent my work with new material as well as revision from the past, beginning with Ghost in the Hall, my first novel that appeared on FP in Dec 2005. I've kept all my old reviews and it's cool to see some of the same people now. Romance Is All You Need -An awesome forum that put me on their C2 list! That is just oh-so-kickass. Aug 8, 2009-EFFORTLESS was nominated (on July 17th) for the SKoW "Punk'd" Award. It wasn't a winner, but I am very thankful for the nomination (my story and several others were among 60,000 potential candidates for nomination), and I appreciate those who were inspired by this story!

I'm INTELLIGENT so I MUST be weak. I am AMERICAN so I MUST be obese, loud-mouthed and arrogant. I’m a YOUNG WRITER, so I MUST be emo. I’m WHITE, so I MUST be responsible for everything going wrong on the planet: past, present, and future. I care about the ENVIRONMENT...I MUST be a tree hugging hippy. I have a FAN CHARACTER, so I MUST be an annoying Mary-sue. I like CARTOONS, so I MUST be IRRESPONSIBLE. I have my OWN spiritual ideology; therefore I MUST be WRONG or MISGUIDED.
