Hello,

I've been enjoying this website for over 5 years, and it has been a very good source of entertainment, and in some cases, companionship over that time.

I finally submitted my first fanfic story. Hope you like it. I have actually started several others over the years, and if my first published story is well-received, I may post them as well.

Most of the stories I follow are from the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood world or the Hunger Games world. But I also follow a few others now and then.

When it comes to Sookie Stackhouse, etc. I tend to be very much Team Eric -- no one else in that universe can hold a candle. With the Hunger Games I'm a little more flexible, although I really love me some Peeta -- he's such a good kid, but I've read some really great Gale stories, too. Truth be told, I really like Finnick-centric stories as well. I guess kudos go to Suzanne Collins for creating so many amazing characters.

By profession I am an actor/director. But I have masters degrees in both theatre and English. I am currently working beta-free, which I like to think of as flying without a net. In other words, all mistakes are my own, and hopefully they are mainly typos, and hopefully not many of those.

My pen name is actually my grandmother's first and middle names. She was just about the greatest person I've ever known. She's been gone thirty years as of December 5, 2014. So... if you're doing the math, you've figured out I'm not exactly... uhm... the target audience of YA novels. That doesn't matter to me if it doesn't matter to you! I guess that explains why I most relate to the character of Haymitch Abernathy! (Read my story and you will understand.)

Thanks ever so for checking me out!
