Author has written 2 stories for Mass Effect.

I started writing Lost and Found in June of 2011. After I finished the game, I discovered fan fiction and was inspired by so many writers. The more I read, the more a story began formulating in my head. As I mentioned in one of my A/N, I only anticipated writing about 5 chapters initially, but the story kept growing. The characters developed a life of their own and I was compelled to tell their stories as my muse whispered in my ears.

I am honored that people have read my story, even more so that many of you have had kind words to say. And although I am so happy that it has entertained you, I confess this was for me. As a Leo, I am not content until I finish a project that I started... even if it is one year later. I had never written a story before, and am contemplating writing another story. This time about my take on the complexities of the characters in the first story, Samara and Aria. Who knows if I will finish it, but if nothing else, I know I can - even if I am a novice at best.

So I am at the end, right where I started... in love this game and the characters who live in my imagination. Sadly, Liara has yet to return my affections or my phone calls. Please feel free to write to me should my stories compel you to do so.
