Author has written 53 stories for Criminal Minds, Lie to Me, and Bates Motel. Hi, it's great that you're here. Therefore, you at least deserve some random trivia about me to feed your curiosity. I love books, movies and TV shows that take a closer look at human nature and psychological aspects. Once I'm hooked, like really hooked, I can't get enough. And since fan fiction is such a great opportunity to extend fictional worlds, I'm here. The best thing about writing fan fiction, though, is that I met other authors and readers. So many wonderful, interesting and witty people. You guys rock! Writing would only be half as much fun without you. One more thing: English is not my first language. This is not meant as an excuse for spelling mistakes or bad grammar. I'm just saying, hoping that there are fewer mistakes in my latest stories than in my previous efforts. Thank you so much for stopping by. Disclaimer: No copyright infringement intended. |
