A few things about me. I'm a teacher, which currently takes up more of my time than I'd like. I've always loved to read, and discovered a few years ago that I love to write too! Historical Romance Fiction is my specialty in both writing and reading. I really appreciate reviews, as they help me in developing my writing, I know it's not great, and I want to make it better! Here are the stories I've finished and am working on now...
