I started with fanfic and used this as impetus and inspiration to write a full length, original dark fantasy/paranormal romance novel. It seems things have come full circle. I did remove all of the stories I had originally placed on here as I was (at the time) looking for representation for my novel. That's been put on hold for a bit, while I get my bearings. Rejection is a soul-tearing and sobering thing, but I'm trying.

My current project is an FFVII fanfiction entitled Northern Lights that pairs Sephiroth and Aeris. The story is complete and I am posting it here and elsewhere on a chapter by chapter basis every Friday. There is artwork associated with each chapter, but alas Fanfiction.net does not allow such here (or not that I know of). I spent a great deal of time looking for the appropriate picture for each chapter, and while this site does not afford such courtesy, you can view each chapter in completion on my various blogs.

I also have a Pinterest where I have acquired quite a plethora of pins and a tidy few followers.

I'm also part of a growing group blog called Caffeine Crew as the Shameful Narcissist where I write movie, book, and game reviews among other things with my major focus being all things Final Fantasy with a heavy emphasis on VII of course.

Thank you all for your increasingly kind words.
