Author has written 3 stories for Chronicles of Narnia, and Lord of the Rings.

Since I’ve begun posting stories here, I suppose I should put a profile narrative...


I claim Lord of the Rings as my first fandom, though I have not been inspired with any major fanfic ideas for it (yet). Chronicles of Narnia has been in my life for a very long time, but I would say it has become a key fandom for me in the past two years or so. Maybe I’m growing old enough to read fairytales again (no comment on how old that is...). I also enjoy Jane Austen and some of Madeleine L’Engel’s novels.
