Author has written 5 stories for Fantasy.

About me:

I've been on Fictionpress for many years but decided to start anew with a different account. My favorite genres to write are fantasy and romance (always with a dash of humor), but I will read virtually anything! Review any one of my stories, and I will attempt to review something of yours as well.

My writing strengths: grammar, dialogue, characterization

My writing weakness: short stories, description, titles, using too many adverbs *hugs all the adverbs*

About my stories:

The Kingdom of White Stone -- Being re-written as Of Shadow and Light

A quest story to find the truth about two countries and their gods. The plan for this is to avoid romance like the plague and focus on characters' platonic relationships. Yeah, we'll see how that goes...

Status: Incomplete with 8 chapters.

The Prince's Taste-tester: Nanowrimo 2010 inspired by the desire to write something whimsical and M-rated. It turned out much cleaner and cuter than I thought it would.

Status: Complete with 47 chapters. Sequel in progress.

The Queen's Peacemaker: Sequel to the above that resolves a plot-line through a new set of characters.

I'm running out of chapters, folks. Updates might become every third Thursday at this rate.

Status: Incomplete with 36 chapters.

The Sleeping Villain: a tale of Nicolais

A cute, fluffy romance that hopefully doesn't scream Stockholm Syndrome (too much).

Status: Complete with 30 chapters. Sequel complete.

Pricetag:

A product of a nightmare and a theme I really wanted to explore. I promise it will become creepier.

Status: Incomplete with 10 chapters written.

Rampion:

This was the product from my arsenal of dead and somewhat unremarkable ideas (a boy in a tower, pink hair connected to magic, a heartless female mercenary, cross-dressing, etc) triggered by my sister's college project to re-imagine a fairy tale. I won't be working on it until The Queen's Peacemaker is complete.

Status: Incomplete with only a prologue.


Well, enough babbling from me...Go forth and read something!

Around here, it isn't safe to be young and pretty, girls OR boys. Well, me, I'm ugly enough to live. But then there's Rayne.
