Author has written 27 stories for Romance, General, and General.

After much deliberation and pressure from my readers, I am coming back. I shall begin reopening and working on my stories here, and opening up new ones. Due to how long I've been gone, some I may not get to yet simply because I'm heading off to college and I've already packed my notes on those stories, which I hand write.

Anyway, I'm back!!

One of my best friends just discovered she has leukemia, so I'm doing my best to be there for her, and may not be on much as a result. Sorry, guys.

Boo!

A little about me: I'm a die-hard romantic. I can't stand unhappy endings in books or movies, but find myself writing a few one-shot stories like that, lol. I love writing romances, but I enjoy writing Sci-Fi's and Fantasies more, though I always throw romance into the mix. And comedy. If you enjoy my sense of humor, it's quite strong in all of my pieces, so have fun poking around. I'm also random, if you haven't noticed, and enjoy coming up with my own witty sayings and explicatives.

Yes, if you see Spanish, I will always translate it inside the story. Same thing if you see any other languages or seemingly non-sense words. But I may do it later on, as it suits the story, so bear with me. And I'll always include pronunciation keys for the odder names I just love using.

I love to hear what you think of my writing, so please drop a comment or email me. If you think of anything to add to my written works, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm not perfect. I'll only get better. If you have ideas for sequels or whatnot, don't hesitate to tell me. I LOVE writing and I'd be happy to add it in!

Here's how I work, though, for comments. I love to hear your opinions. I'll even go as far as to say that I don't mind if you criticize--as long as it is constructive. But please, I'm human, I'm imperfect, and believe it or not, I have feelings too. Keep that in mind when you review or send me an email. I don't mind opinions, but please don't blast me out. I don't care if my stories are cliche or unrealistic or too this or too that. My style is my style. Period.


ON HIATUS:

- Fuzzy vs. Fangs is officially on hiatus, since I'm running into trouble with it. I'm not sure if I like how it's turned out, so I'm trying to rewrite the chapters I have up here. I feel it's a little too slow and not running smoothly. Until I fix the problem, I can't go on. Sorry...

- Shielded (temporarily) I just have too many stories to deal with. Shielded will be up and running again soon. I do apologize about this. The same thing with A Guy Named Jasper... Again, sorry...

Requests: (will be posted here one by one in the near future, not necessarily in this order)

- Story for artistic dreamer

- "REAL Snow White" Fairy Tale for Xestrin (aka Cristen)

- "REAL 12 Dancing Princesses" for TheAllweatherFriend (aka Mercy). Since this one isn't as well-heard of, I hope that everyone goes to wikipedia and reads the basic outline before checking this out.

Ideas: (tentative and subject to change)

- "The Gods Hate Me" Story about a demi-goddess who is the goddess of bliss--younger sister to the goddess of pleasure--who just so happens to be the child of Eros (aka Cupid) And Psyche, and granddaughter of Aphrodite (the Goddess of love), finally gets her spin at love...but how will it end up with so much family drama? (This is more geared to adults.)

- Sequel to Shielded?? (Just an idea involving Zane and the pyrokenisis girl.)

- "Oops." What happens to fairytale princess when she is magically transported to modern times by a lonely teen girl, Jenn, who keeps trying to get the princess to marry Jenn's older brother?

- "I Hate My Life" Nothing ever goes my way. Not my parents' divorce, their constant battling over custody of me, where I go to school, what I eat, what I do--nothing. Nothing, that is, until I met a guy who's more than he appears...

- "Mirrors" A girl finds that suddenly, her reflection in the mirror is no longer of her, but of a young man, constantly watching her. What happens to her when she suddenly gets dragged into his world, an alternate universe, and everything goes haywire? (Might be geared more towards adults. I haven't truly worked on it yet.)

My Specials:

- "Forever and Ever" A story about a girl who falls in love, but discovers she has leukemia, holding her back from making a move on him. As she fights the cancer and deals with her past, the guy decides to make his own move. Dedicated to one of my best friends who has the disease, based tentatively off her own life. (Coming Soon)

These are my ideas and requests of my readers, so no stealing! I've got my eyes on you!! O.O

If you want to see one of my ideas get turned into a story, then the quickest way is to request it. I do my best to get the requests out of the way first.


I just want to take the time and give a shout-out to the people who have encouraged me and helped me grow as a writer.

Cristen (aka Xestrin) and Mercy (aka TheAllweatherFriend), both of whom spends all of their free time reading, reviewing and editing my work! You all are amazing and words alone cannot express how grateful I am for all you've both done! Also a shout out to Kristy (you know who you are) who keeps me going and regularly amuses me and gives me new ideas.

And lastly, all of the people who take the time to review my stuff frequently. It's hard to get an honest opinion, and I cherish everyone I hear!! I love reviews! ~hugs all of my reviews~ Well, and the people who take the time to read them. Seriously, I love them as much as I love writing. After I post a chapter, I wait and wait to see its reaction. So, if you send me a review, know I'll probably drop a comment on your home page whenever I can. I just adore my reviews!! :D

I do apologize for not being able to respond personally to all of my reviews for each chapter I write, but I find I'm a lot busier. In order to keep posting as fast as everyone loves me for doing, I have to drop that closeness. That doesn't mean I love your comments any less or that I don't care. I'm just a little more involved with school and work.

And thanks to my extra-special reviewers who are always there reading and reviewing my work and wasting their precious time to read and tell me what they think! You guys do this every day! Hugs to all of you--you know who you are!


Reminder to my readers: I'm human. I can only post as fast as life will let me. I am now a college student, heavily involved in my school, and I don't have a ton of free time.

The best way to get me to work on a certain story faster is to show support for my stories. I usually start with my most popular stories when I update, or the ones with more people telling me they love my work and are dying for the next update.

Kisses and hugs to all of my readers and reviewers!
