madcrafter72hide bio
Author has written 18 stories for Castle. I have always been a reader, devouring books as fast as I could afford them. Only very recently, with the inspiration of authors here, and the priceless encouragement of my husband, have I ventured into writing and, even scarier for me, publishing. I am in awe of many of the authors on this site, and you can find them in my favourites. I am blown away by the talent of Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, P.J. Haarshmaa, Andew W Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller. Word of Mon @madcrafter72 Brisbane, Australia |
