BIO

Update: I'm currently work both a full time and a part time job, going to college full time to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, and being a mom to three overly emotional teenage girls. I write when I can, mostly on my lunch break, between jobs and homework, and by sacrificing sleep. The reason I'm telling you this is to let you know that this is why some updates take so long. But I love to write, and slowly but surely, the chapters will get finished.

I discovered my passion for writing during the summer of 2009 after one of the stories I was reading abruptly ended, leaving me desperately wanting more. It was then that I decided to try my hand at fan fiction and write my own story. After much prodding, I was finally convinced to post it here on this site and gained enough favor and success to forever cement my love of writing and storytelling.

A few years later I went on to publish my first novel, a Phantom of the Opera fan fiction titled Thoughts of Summertime. In it, I took the plot that fans all knew and loved and twisted it around until it was almost a completely original story. The characters were still there, but everything else was turned upside-down. The book is available now and can be purchased on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CreateSpace, or by contacting me directly.

I also have several Mass Effect fics out right now, but my pride and joy is Parallel Lives. I am truly honored and humbled by all the wonderful feedback I continue to receive on this story. It's truly been a work of love, something that has gone far beyond just a hobby. Writing this story has made me realize that this is what I want to do for a living, and I'm currently exploring ways to make writing a career.

I'd like to take a moment to tell all of my devoted readers that while it may take me time to get some updates posted, Parallel Lives will NEVER be abandoned.

Meeting people through this site is awesome and I love carrying on conversations about everything from Mass Effect, Phantom, writing in general, to what you liked/didn't like about my fics, etc. I've created a Tumblr account as well and I'm fairly active on the site. You can find me here:
