Well what can I say about myself? I am a thirty something mom, who is still a kid at heart. Writing has been my passion since I first learned how to use a pencil, and I do believe the reason why my mind has stayed so young even though the rest of me starts to feel so old.

My reading interests are mainly in the fantasy and sci-fi genres, but I do like an occasional Stephen King thriller. My favorite authors are Tolkein, Frank Herbert, Anne Rice, J. K. Rowling and Sara Douglass. I have also finally been introduced to Anime and Manga and my first experience is with Full Metal Alchemist, which has become a passion of mine. You just have to love the Elric brothers.

My music interests are very wide and varied. Favorite artists or groups: Robbie Williams, HIM, Jann Arden, Leonard Cohen, The Goo Goo Dolls, Savage Garden, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Rob Thomas, Anna Nalick, Marc Antony, Meat Loaf, Queen, Phil Collins, Elton John, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Poison, Guns N Roses.

I would have to say that I mainly write for my own enjoyment, even though at times I have considered trying to become a published author. My one big flaw when it comes to my own writing is that when I read it, it never seems good enough to put out there. I constantly find myself saying "This is not ready. It needs more." So even though I come to the end of a story it never really seems finished to me. (Yes I know I'm rambling, but if your reading my profile you probably wanted to know what I'm like right?)

Current Status of my fics: January 30, 2007

Important Announcement: Please Read

Due to some problems in my personal life I am having to take some time off from writing. At this time my creativity is pretty much nill due to a stressful situation. I am not abandoning my writing, I promise, but for now I just can not bring myself to write anything or to do anything beyond the ordinary automatic, mundane tasks of life. As soon as these personal problems are resolved I am sure that I will be able to continue to write. I'm sorry if my absense upsets anyone. It can not be helped.

Burden of Proof: See note above. Once my life is back on track this will be the first thing I work on.

Learn To Be Lonely:I am putting this story on the back burner for a while. I will eventually finish it, but other interests have distracted me.

I am in the process of editing my entire Blood series. Since I started writing the series I have grown both mentally and emotionally. I have learned alot from my reviewers and my friends and in the state it is in I do not believe that I have done the story justice at all. All chapters will remain up as they are and I will use the Export feature to edit them and then change them. Once a chapter is edited I will make a note in the chapter. That way anyone wishing to read the story will still be able to continue with it.

Now that leads me to,

Future Projects:

Untitled as yet sixth story in my Blood Series: Yes I said my Blood series. I know it has been more than a year since I left off on the series and for that I am very ashamed. It has been far too long since I walked the plains of Middle Earth and I miss it so dearly. I hope you walk them with me again my friends. I will soon be starting this project and am in eager anticipation of posting the first chapter.
