Author has written 7 stories for Twilight, and Pride and Prejudice.

Hey there, I'm a teacher/wanna-be author. I live in rural Australia with my hubby and two cats.

I love to read, and write, and dream impossible dreams. I live for fantasy stories- Harry Potter, Black Jewels and Star Wars. I also love Anita Blake books. I love more traditional novels, especially anything by Jane Austen.

I have many stories running in my head at any one time, so I get easily distracted from a story that I might be reading or writing. Unless I become obsessed with that story, in which case don't expect to hear from or see me, until I finish reading or writing that particular obsession.

I hope to one day be a published author but I have a life outside of the world of fantasy. When I'm not reading or writing or staring at this or other fan-fiction websites, I love to cook, dance and Pinterest

In my early 20s I three published fan fictions (all Twilight because Forks is such a fun place to play in):

Halloween Costumes was a very random fluff piece about Bella and the Cullens getting ready for a Halloween costume party. I love odd holidays like Halloween (even though it's not really recognized in Australia) and costume parties. And I love random Culleness moments.What I Wanted has been written as a one shot, but is the start of what I imagine will happen in Breaking Dawn. Maybe one day I will expand on it.All the Phases of the Moon is an exploration of the Cullens returning to Forks earlier in New Moon. It would actually cut into the book halfway through chapter 15.

and now I'm back with ideas about Pride and Prejudice. I've completed two fan fictions attempting to explore Jane Austen's amazing work.

Mr Darcy's Plan which is a longer than planned retelling of the end of the book, attempting to tie up some loose ends I feel were neglected in the original.

Loved Him First is just a one short that I wrote as an exploration of one antagonist in the original - Caroline Bingley, to see if she had a relate-able side.

and I'm currently working on a third - Altering Perceptions AND a fourth - In The Middle Before Beginning

Both stories are starting in very similar places in the book (while both Lizzy and Darcy are in Kent) but will have different paths from there. Altering Perceptions is also my effort to keep as much as possible of the language style and conventions from regency era writing, while In the Middle Before Beginning is a lot more relaxed - but both are a lot of fun to work on.

"What have you written that has not already been said?" Another confrontation of inflamed emotions will change their path to HEA.

Altering Perceptions reviews
"Merely to the illustration of your character," said she, "I am trying to make it out." How differently might our beloved couple act if he was more aware of her true feelings, and she was better informed of his character. - rewritten summary as this story has begun a new direction than it has been intended.

Loved Him First reviews
One Shot. What if there was more to Caroline than generally accepted? What if she genuinely loved Darcy? How would she deal with him marrying another woman? Please read and review - you may not like Caro, but I'm curious to see if I can make her a little sympathetic with this.

Mr Darcy's Plan reviews
Surely, Fitzwilliam Darcy had a plan. After he was given two coincidental opportunities, first Kent and then Pemberley, he must have realised that he would now have to be a little proactive when it came to seeking the hand of Miss Bennet. Unfortunately though, plans take time. Plans have to be co-ordinated. Plans can be spoiled by the unknown, unexpected and unfortunate - Complete
