I live in the middle of nowhere (otherwise known as Illinois). I am somewhat unpredictable and, well, moody to put it quite bluntly... which I'm sure you'll find out if you read my works.

I consider myself somewhat of a geek, but unlike many people I actually consider that a compliment. ;)

Let's see...I love to sing and act and could not live without some form of music in my life. I have two black kitties, one named Rhys (it's Gaelic) and the other named Frank (named after Frank Sinatra, but I call him Bitty).

Alrighty then. I think that's all you need to know about me. Now, why don't you go check out some of my works, eh? wink, wink
