Author has written 31 stories for Merlin, Harry Potter, and Avengers.

I've written for a number of fandoms, though my current obsession is Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series. I completed an epic length Severus/Lily story in January 2017 and currently have two more fics in progress.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy building websites and creating digital art. You can find me/my work on the following sites:

– A community for folks who love the fantasy genre.

– A community for fans of Severus Snape.

Both these communities feature writing, artwork, discussion, contests, challenges, and much more. Stop by and check us out!
