Author has written 2 stories for Romance.

it's not a matter of where you are going, but rather the people who are along for the journey

RECENT NEWS:

9.10.14

Still here. Still alive. I took a quick detour and got my masters and thus didn't have any time in my life for writing. But now that I've graduated, I finally have time for the things I love (which includes writing). I think I'm going to start with There and Back Again and hopefully try to finish that. I am working on another new story which I haven't posted yet--but because of the format and the way it's being written--I think its best to finish the whole thing before I do anything with it.

Right now I'm just going through the chapters I have already written for TABA, revising them, editing them, and hopefully soon there will be more content for your guys!

4.8.13

So the writing bug continues! I've written the next two chapters for There and Back Again and I really want to push forward but I probably should go to bed. I probably won't post them til next week, as I want to see how long this writing streak will last and usually revisions derail me, but trust me, it's very exciting. I haven't gotten past the fifth chapter of a story for a few years now so I am over the moon about it!!
