If you have questions about any of these things—my beliefs, personality, interests, etc.—don't be afraid to shoot me a PM. I don't bite, but I do lick. And I take forever to respond. You've been warned.

Check out my stories while you're here. I've written for several categories, including many Disney shows and a couple movies. My newer stuff is better than my old stuff, but for some reason, my old stories get more reads. Come on, people!

If you'd like to know more and check out some of my other work on the web, go to my blog at .

Favorite quotes:

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
- C.S. Lewis

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead."
- Gene Fowler

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."
- Kingsley Amis

"You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning."
- Peter De Vries

"People do not deserve to have good writing, they are so pleased with bad."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Always grab the reader by the throat in the first paragraph, send your thumbs into his windpipe in the second, and hold him against the wall until the tagline."
- Paul O'Neil

"Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless."
- Blaise Pascal

"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."
- Mark Twain

"Show what must be shown, and tell what must be told."
- Daniel Schwabauer

“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
- Harlan Ellison

"Facts don't care about your feelings."
- Ben Shapiro

"Change can help you change, you know, and that can be a good thing."
- Wooton Basset, Back to Abnormal, Adventures in Odyssey

"'If it were not perilous, it could not be very powerful,' Georyn observed. 'For does not power always carry some sort of danger?'"
- From Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl

"My father says she was born lucky. He says I was lucky to be born. I don't need luck, though. I don't want it. I've always had to struggle and fight and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."
- Zuko, The Siege of the North, Avatar: The Last Airbender

"I whispered the fastest prayer I know, probably the oldest prayer known to man: Help me!"
- From The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.”
- C.S. Lewis

“The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused him of being a bore - on the contrary, they thought him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have efficiently pared the claws of the Lion of Judah, certified him 'meek and mild' and recommended him as a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies.”
- Dorothy Sayers

Random, unique facts about me:

- My dog is named Scooby. I'm named Daphne. That wasn't on purpose.

- I don't like food. I consider eating to be a necessary evil. (Nope, no eating disorders. Most food just makes me gag.)

- Laura Ingalls Wilder was my childhood hero, and she's a big part of the reason I'm an author today.

- I'm a Christian, ergo I would rather write the f-word a hundred times than write out OMG once. I'm not taking my Lord's name in vain, and if you think that makes me a priss or something, here's a face to show how much I care about your opinion: -_-

- I plan to work in student ministries at whatever churches I wind up at throughout my life. I would also like to write curriculum for middle/high school youth groups.

- The NIV84 is my favorite version of the Bible, followed by the ESV.

- My dog is an alien. No, I'm not kidding. He's from Canada.

- My favorite joke is: "There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data."

- I have set foot in a public school classroom a total of two times in my life.

- I've never been east of Colorado or west of Hawaii.

- I like to draw people more than anything else. I'll often doodle my characters in my notebook during church.

- I've been dehydrated bad enough to go to the hospital.

- I've never read or seen Harry Potter. You don't have to yell at me. I've heard it all from pretentious Potterheads, and, frankly, those kinds of demeaning attitudes do not make me want to read the books.

- I have never heard silence.

- I went through a ridiculous Star Wars phase in middle school, and I still retain some of the most random facts from my near-constant browsing of Wookiepedia.

- Speaking of random facts, I have a crazy amount of random medical knowledge that I've accrued from my years of doing research for my stories. Most of it is not useful in everyday life, but if you ever need to know about pneumothoraxes, spinal cord injuries, or hypovolemic shock, I'm your girl!

- I know how to finger knit. I can make hats, scarves, bracelets, bookmarks, butterflies, coasters, rugs, and more.

- I'm grateful that you read all this. I hope it entertained you. Now go read my stories!
