Author has written 30 stories for Major Crimes, and Battlestar Galactica: 2003.

Besides writing, I also love to read, especially fantasy and historical fiction, although I like a good mystery/ thriller every now and then.

I work a full time corporate job, which is fine with me; it pays the bills and allows me to pursue the fun stuff like writing and singing.

Outside of writing, my other interests include Tarot and music. I collect and read Tarot cards -- not in the fortune telling sense but for philosophical wisdom and guidance. Tarot can also be a great springboard for story ideas and creative writing.. Those 78 cards cover the whole gamut of human experience.

Reviews are always appreciated. :)

Thank you for visiting and thank you for reading my stories. Please check out my favorite authors, too, because they are phenomenal and surpass me on so many levels.

You can also find me at Archive of Our Own. I write under the same pen name.
