![]() Author has written 82 stories for Ninja Turtles, Mass Effect, and Voltron: Legendary Defender. 12/31/2017 - HAPPY NEW YEAR! xo 7/20/2016 - Hey readers, friends and followers, I'm sorry to say that I have to go on a writing hiatus. Hopefully it will be temporary, but I'm not sure at this point. Between real life pressures of raising my kids, family stuff, work, etc. and minimal free time, there's just not enough of me to go around! I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted...I'm just spent! Listen, this is something I never thought I'd need to do, nor is it something I ever wanted to do, but writing has become a chore wrapped in crushing pressure and loads of guilt. I'm finding my words aren't flowing, but being dragged painfully from me. It just isn't any fun anymore. I've been seriously feeling sick for not updating my work - getting depressed and feeling awful. I need a little time. I need to come back to it when it is fun again. And I will. Hopefully that'll be sooner rather than later, but I can make no promises. I will still be popping in and out of the fandom, because it's a place I love and can escape to, and it's filled with so many wonderful people. And I will still be doing some fanart and participating in the fandom here and there on Tumblr and DA and Stealthystories II. I hope I'm not letting you down too much. I debated if I should say anything or not, but after thinking on it, I just couldn't sit back and let you all hang, waiting on updates, wondering why I wasn't writing. I couldn't do that to you. xo "If one's different, one's bound to be lonely." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World. This pretty much sums up what is at the heart of all my ninja turtle stories. Deeply honored, thrilled and bouncy-happy to be nominated this year. My readers are amazing. You keep me going and give me so much. For that, I'm ever grateful.

I appreciate any and all input from my readers, so don't be shy! Review! or drop me a PM. Some of my dearest friends I've met through this site. I write because I love the craft of it, but more so, I simply need to. It's like breathing to me. And I wouldn't push so hard to provide you with quality stories if it wasn't for my readers and my friends who continue to support and demand nothing less from me. I love you. And so, I leave you with this... 'He seeks a seeker who in his turn seeks Another still, lost far into the distance. Any who seek him seek in him the seeker. His life is a pursuit of a pursuit forever. It is the future that creates his present. All is an interminable chain of longing.' - Robert Frost, Escapist - Never ...an interminable chain of longing - that's me. |
