Author has written 42 stories for Romance, Humor, Young Adult, Love, General, Family, Nature, General, Mystery, School, Sci-Fi, Life, Mythology, Friendship, Fantasy, War, and Humor. I suppose I'm not new to FictionPress anymore. I don't spend as much time here as I'd like, though. Please forgive me if I'm not regularly updating -- I'm in the middle of obtaining my MFA in Creative Writing and school stuff gets in the way of writing things for fun. You can find me on Twitter (ellielatraille) -- I'm usually fairly responsive and I love seeing what you all have to say! Check out my newest novel, "Ritual Girl." It's on temporary hiatus for the moment, but I should be picking it up again this week (23 March 2013). Hope you're all well, and I promise I'll do my best to get another chapter up soon. All the best, PS: Like my page on Facebook here for updates on stories, general thoughts, spontaneous song lyrics, excerpts from upcoming chapters, to tell me how you feel and what you think, and more: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ellie-LaTraille/159851857483978 | |||||||
