Writing fan fiction was the beginning of discovering my passion and learning to believe in my abilities as a writer. None of that would have been possible without you. Yes, you - the wonderful individuals that take the time to read, follow, review, and favorite my work! :-) I am truly thankful for you and honored that you find my stories worthy of your time.

All of my stories so far are based on the Mass Effect and Dragon Age video games. My Dragon Age stories are totally unrelated, stand-alone one-shots, but my Mass Effect stories build on each other, much like the games; things that happen in the earlier ones are referenced in and have an impact on the later ones. In chronological order, they are: Made For You, Mortimer, Reunions, and Don’t Fear The Reapers. When I posted the last chapter of Don't Fear The Reapers I cried like a baby! Linda Shepard and Garrus Vakarian had been a part of my every waking moment for three years and it was hard to let them go - even for a little while. However, finishing that story allowed me to focus on my first original novel.

Writing as Isabella Norse, I now have several short stories and novel available on Amazon. In my first novel, Assassin's Heart, I give the readers and reviewers of fanfiction.net a shout-out in the acknowledgments. After all, as I said earlier, I give you credit for helping me believe in my ability as a writer.

But don't worry, I love Shepard and Garrus too much to get away from them completely; I'm already working on ideas for a few one-shots.
