Author has written 14 stories for Fantasy, Essay, Humor, Religion, General, Love, and Life.

Hi!

Not much to say here, except that I LOVE to write and I'm working hard every day to hone my craft. I write original stories with grand dreams of publication. You'll probably find the bulk of my stories under Fantasy, though I may show up in Humour once in a while (I am not a comedian though, and accept no rotten tomatoes.)

So, if you like my work, please let me know through a review! I really appreciate constructive criticism.

Warning: I can be sort of a nitpick when it comes to reviewing works. If I send you a review pointing out a problem you don't feel is there, remember: You have the final word in what your story says, not me.

Thanks and enjoy!

God bless,

Kitty
