Author has written 10 stories for General, Romance, and Spiritual.

I'm a 22 year old from the great state of Maryland with a degree in music education. In real life, I'm a happily employed K-5 general music teacher and proud band teacher to a group of super awesome 4th and 5th graders! I have successfully finished my first year of teaching, so I guess I know what I'm doing now... ?

When the teaching badge comes off, I'm a twenty something who enjoys the simple things. Cups of coffee, writing, reading, photography, music, and making obscure movie references in casual conversation.

Formerly under the penname "Recontre Destinee" -- felt it was time to grow up and ditch the name I'd created in 2007 and actually use my real pen name.

Currently Reading: "The Prime Minister's Secret Agent," Susan Elia Macneil (Maggie Hope Mystery Series -- it's a great read! Do check them out!)

There is only one way I'm going to be able to ask out the perfect girl, and that is if I have as many tries as it takes. Maybe that will be 10, maybe 100, maybe even a million. It doesn't matter, I have an unlimited time limit...
