Author has written 11 stories for Mass Effect, Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal, and Once Upon a Time.

UPDATE 1/15/16- As of right now, Diary of an Evil Queen and Seeds of the Pomegranate are going on hiatus. DoaEQ is on an indefinite hiatus, since I'm not sure when I'll have the time to work on that one. SotP I'm hoping to get around to once more in the spring; I'm making time for a massive undertaking. I'm going to be writing a series tentatively called Home. It will be at least two novels long, but I'm shooting for a trilogy. This will be set in Once Upon a Time. I hope to see you guys along for the ride, and stay tuned! -RH

I try to write things that I would like to read, meaning I attempt to make things interesting, well-thought out, and grammatically correct. I'm not really a comedy writer. I definitely steer towards the poignant. There isn't too much to say here- I like fanfic. I like delving into other peoples' sanboxes with regards to characters. I'm a single mother, I have the best soulmate a woman could ask for (endlessmuse is his penname. Go look him up). I roleplay, write, sing, draw, and generally laze about in my spare time. Whenever I actually have spare time, that is.

I'm opinionated, loud, and at times, rub people the wrong way. I haven't really figured out the whole life thing, which is partly why I use fictional characters to try to help me sort out my life. If you would like to see other pages of mine, send me a message. I am on and tumblr.

Current OTPs: (Some pairings are odd. You have been warned)

Robin Hood and Regina Mills (Once Upon a Time) Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling (Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal) Lady Mary Crawley and Sir Richard Carlisle (Downton Abbey) Rupert Giles and Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Daenerys Targaryen and Ser Jorah Mormont (Game of Thrones) Commander Shepard and Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect) Warden Cousland and Morrigan (Dragon Age) Max Caulfield and Mark Jefferson (Life Is Strange) Hermione Granger and Remus Lupin (Harry Potter)
