Author has written 9 stories for Young Adult, General, and Romance.

I write, I read. And occasionally get dinner cooked and laundry done--when necessary.

Strangely, I love to edit too--I guess that's the teacher in me...

I have written several young adult stories, but I am beginning to branch into a whole new genre--M/M slash--so watch the ratings if you don't like that kind of stuff.

My first M/M is Tears of the Neko, which I have also posted on AFF as Oh2BWriting and Gay Authors, and it seemed to be well received so I thought I'd post it here as well. However, Gay Authors is pretty much my exclusive place for posting my m/m fiction.

Young Adult Stories: (Also published in my anthologies on Amazon, PM me if you want details)

The Writing on the Wall And the Devil Did Grin Children of the Night Cipher at the Sign What No Tongue Tells When All the Shades are Gone

M/M Slash: some may find some of the content objectionable. Please read content warnings before reading.

Tears of the Neko--Complete; the rewrite is 30K words longer (almost 2x it's original length!). Only half the chapters are posted as it is currently now available on Amazon under Taylor Ryan. You can find it on Smashwords as well. What No One Sees--This story is actually now available only on Gay Authors. org. If you'd like to read it, you can search for it there. It's highly steeped in abuse by a father of his teenage son, so be warned. Blood of the Neko (the Tears of the Neko Sequel)--half is available here as it is currently published on Amazon and Smashwords as well. All In (was originally going to be Seven Card Stud)--it's currently partially down for publishing as well on Amazon. Beneath the Current--It basically is about a genetically created mer man who has been hidden away on an island, until a visitor to the island invades the quiet existence. Also available on Amazon.

These are a few of My Favorite Things:

Color: Purple

Drink: Hard Ciders

Movies: Ever After (I'm a sucker for Cinderella-like stories)

TV shows: Criminal Minds, Big Bang Theory, Castle (although honestly I don't watch much TV except when folding laundry--which isn't very often!)

Books: Tough one as I read constantly! These are ones I read over and over though: A Matter of Time Series (JORY!), Cut & Run Series, Out of the Darkness, Forgotten (not really a book, but a good story on AFF by Traxie), Sinner's Gin Series, Let it Go, The THIRDS series by Charlie Cochet (hilarious!)

Authors: Rhys Ford, Lisa Henry, SE Jakes, Mary Calmes, Traxie, Josh Lanyon, Charlie Cochet.

Things to do: read and write (obviously), Karaoke with my daughters, Renaissance faires
