Author has written 25 stories for Romance, Humor, General, Biography, Fantasy, Haiku, Love, Nature, Life, General, Essay, Humor, Fantasy, and Young Adult.

I had never intended to post anything to fictionpress, but I found that to be a beta reader, it was required. Most of what I have written was done in high school, although a good bit was written in the beginning of my college career as well. Despite my love for stories, I've never found an affinity for writing them. What I truly love is editing. So I decided while I was uploading stories...my chances of getting picked as a beta reader were much higher if I had a big shiny number next to my name :-). It seemed like a good idea at the time...
