ms silverquillhide bio
 Author has written 43 stories for General, Romance, Fantasy, and Supernatural. I love short stories and that's the majority of what I read - it probably says something about my attention span, but I'd rather not analyze it. In case you can't tell - I do like happy endings. They make me smile :). I love to read and write (obviously, huh?) - I'll read just about anything. If anyone has any recommendations, drop me a line. Thanks! You can also find me on twitter: @karahelen For other updates and links to old stories, you can always find me here: Did you wonder where Letters of Smoke went? I know, I know, no one cares about LOS because there's lots of werewolf-and-void goodness here to read. Letters of Smoke, though, is a project that I absolutely adore and so I've decided to work with InkShares on getting it published. For more information and updates, check it out here: Letters of Smoke I will be posting updates and snippets on my blog, too. |

It's been so long ago now, but you could remember it, if you'd like to.
