About Me:

I'm old and new.

-Old as in when the orthopedic doctor said, " If I din't know these were you're x-rays I would say this is a backbone of an 85 year old. You will be fortunate if you are not in a wheelchair by the time you are 50." Well, I'm barely past the half century mark and NO wheelchair. (Sitting/standing for 20 minutes- difficult but I'm not complaining)

-New as in writing and posting fanfiction. New to detective/mystery stories. New to Blogs, Blackberrys and Betas. New to 1st person POV.

I'm a "OneGodApostolic..." Christian and proud of it. Loving the magical worlds of Harry P. and Harry D. isolates me from some friends. They think 'I am going to hell' because of my infatuation with magic/power. But that's their problem.

I have an IQ over 140 (yeah, yeah so I'm in the top 3 percent of the smarties in the country) Intelligent doesn't mean educated. I have an EQ (emotional quota) around 60 or less. So that makes me pretty average.

I've taught a few years in private schools. Tried public schools -it didn't last long- I wasn't given combat pay so I pursued other interests as in health care profession(taking care of my teacher friends) JK.

I've done some local non-fiction writing. Boring! Sold a few oil paintings and some other commercial artwork I'm kind of a 'Jill of all trades, Mistress of none'.

About the Dresden Files:

"Outsider" started out as a PwP story after watching Harry Dresden/Paul Blackthorne on SciFi. Do you blame me?

Anyway like most bunnies do, the story grew and grew.

I first saw the show and then started reading the books (haven't read them all, YET). I'm sticking with the TV version.

Sorry if I offend some of you true JB fans. Kudos to JB.

THIS STORY IS incomplete fragments. I had to remove the auto grammar check for this one. I tried to write (poor imitation) in JB’s 1st person POV style.

I apologize for the redundant information. But even JB is guilty of overkill on the "Blue Beetle."

About the Maggie-Kate series:

"Traitor" is the only story to survive the untimely death of my computer. I copied it to my laptop before said demise. I wrote it while waiting for Eragon's author, Chris Paolini's book signing back in September of '05. Though it has been a couple of years, I still think it is good enough (the message) to post it now. Hope you like it as well.

I might resurrect and complete those Potter Unvierse novelettes someday- I made hard copy notes- wishing I was smart enough to 'backup' the actual stories.

The Maggie-Kate collection, "Anomaly" "Puppy Love" and "The Princess & the Professor," is a fictional auto-biography of sorts. Good therapy!
