My pen name is pronounced - "Sa" (as the "sa" in "salute") and "ti" (like saying the word "tie"). Just in case anyone was wondering how that was pronounced...

I am a native of Belvedere, SC (which is located pretty much just across the state line from Augusta, GA - the home of the Masters golf tournament, for those golf fans out there). I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina - Columbia (the original USC). I got a degree in anthropology (that's the study of man, where he came from, and where he's going - NOT dinosaurs, that's paleontology, which I had actually once thought about studying) and still really want to work in a museum. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for twenty-one(!) years now. We have a daughter who is fourteen. I'm forty-three (OMG!) and a stay-at-home mom. My husband is retired US military and we're now living in Virginia (I do sort of miss being stationed in Hawai'i, but I've realized something about it made all of us sad homebodies, despite the fact it was freakin' Hawai'i).

I almost exclusively write fantasy and the vast majority of that's romance (or at least have romance in them). My stories range across all ratings with most being "T". I plan to eventually post a lot more stories (I have quite a list to choose from) and may end up putting up at least one of my big stories which I wrote in high school - I've written four of them but they all need major revisions. I've had many story ideas come to me in the past few years but I have been unable to finish most of them...and some could never be posted due to their mature content. However, I've been writing stories since sixth grade - that's thirty years of writing - I'm sure I can find plenty of stories that are acceptable to be posted here, though most of the oldest of my stories need a lot of editing since they were very "young" stories. And I’m planning to try to get to those at some point to see which I can fix.

Writing update (10 JUN 2024)

Hi to anyone reading this! The absolute blahs I have endured for nearly a year an a half are, hopefully, finally starting to clear. My mind just literally started thinking of TPK and TtR tonight so I'm going to try to foster it by rereading TtR and what I have of TPK. The only downside, however, is my only writing method right now is my phone, which is really difficult but doable (I've been working on a D&D story on my phone slowly but surely). We moved in March but my husband has refused to submit the request for our household goods to be sent from storage to us because he's waiting for us to buy a house (so I won't see the majority of my stuff fir months still)...thus I don't have my computer, but I probably need a new one anyway since my old one was over 10 years old. I'm thinking of at least getting a basic Chromebook for now (and a desktop later) just so I can actually type, which should make things much easier. As soon as I have another update, I'll post it here!

Addendum (12 JUN 2024)... After rereading both stories as posted, I've realized two things. One... somehow there are missing words(?!) in both stories and a few grammatical issues (I'm sure there's also comma issues I haven't noticed, and while I think I'm better than most Americans, I know I still don't use them 100% correctly). Two... TPK is an absolute mess post-chapter 17 (and even a bit messy before that, but not nearly as bad). I'm going to brainstorm and do a serious edit in the coming months (hopefully) of chapter 18 and later. After the beautiful near-seamlessness of writing the first story (though I know it still has issues), the second story never flowed out the same. Probably because I constrained myself too much going after my original idea, but it's still how I want the story to go, despite I changed the nature/ending of TtR several times...though the whole plot change in chapter 23 is much newer). I'm going to try to streamline everything and fix the issues I saw. Not sure how that'll go, as I tried twice before to rewrite the story...but, again, think I used the original as too much of a guidepost. I'm going to do more of a blind rewrite of the most problematic chapters this time with just points I want to hit from my original writing (and changes my brain supplied after my reread...particularly one chapter). So I guess I will be getting myself a new computer soon for ease of writing. I'm hoping to have the fixes and more story done by end of summer...end of year at the latest.

Currently posting - "The Perpetual King" (fiction, romance/fantasy, rated M - for language, adult situations, mild violence, and traumatic events)

Summary - SEQUEL to Trusting the Revenant… Though they’ve dealt with the immediate threat to the kingdom, Safondra and Iratannus know that the true menace is still out there. That’s not going to stop her from taking her new husband around the kingdom to introduce him to the people, though…even if he fears things aren’t going to go as smoothly as she’s hoping.

Author's note - As noted, this is the sequel of “Trusting the Revenant”, so if you haven’t read the first story, I strongly suggest you do so before starting TPK so you know what’s going on. My plan is to post a chapter a week, but that could change. I do hope you enjoy. Leave me a review if you do! :)

To keep more up-to-date on what's going on with my writing (when I'm actually writing), go to my LiveJournal page where my username is Lenaeslynn. You’ll get lots more information on my stories and their progress.

I'm almost always writing something (or trying to, at the very least) and I've got lots of stories waiting in the wings for the right moment to be finished.

I love twists and there are usually a few in my stories...so sit down, buckle up, and prepare for a few shocks along the way!

I do hope you enjoy all my stories. I love reviews, so please give me one if you like one of my stories! And feel free to shoot me a PM...I'll be glad to hear from you. I'd love to hear questions, comments, and even suggestions!

Information regarding cover art for my stories -
"Dragon's Gift" - art courtesy i-r-annet @ deviantART and used with permission, though I did (poorly) repixelate the background to blue myself
"The Princess and the Swords" - art by me using an MS Word available clipart picture, so I assume I own those rights
"Emissary of Death" - art by me using a public domain picture (I could find no copyright info among several sites that used it at least) of a single poppy, repeated eight times

Book suggestions (updated) –
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik (first of a trilogy, complete)
Written in Red by Anne Bishop (first of an awesome five book series, plus there're three other books that expand on the series' world as well and could be more later)
Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie (first of an eight book series, plus there are three spin-off/interconnected series as well {two finished, and the third has three books yet to come}) (*note - these are adult romances, even if the peak of said romance isn't until the last book of each series, so far)
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout (first of a series - four books out {though I expect at least one more is coming}, plus two books in a spin-off prequel series) (*note - this is an adult romance)
