Reading is my passion. My favorite types of books are fantasy, sci-fi, and romance. I also adore the A&E/BBC six-hour Pride & Prejudice, LOTR, Vin Diesel's voice, Twizzlers, and peppermint flavored anything. Besides writing, I decorate fancy cakes and wrangle my children. I have an M.S. in Zoology and a B.A. in Biology with a Japanese minor. I also have two rambunctious kids. Check out my Indygodusk tumbler with pictures inspired by my stories.

Author Update: (2/28/20) I just started posting Rome 2: Reconstructing Rome. I've been working on it forever so I'm ready to get it out and be done and see what people think of the fun plot moments. Thanks for your support! I'm making photo boards for each chapter on my tumblr too.

(1/28/20) I wrote a short Harry Potter fic featuring Harry/Hermione. It's a stand-alone but may one day in the future be a prologue to a bigger story. We'll see. Rome 2 is at 32 chapters and counting. I'm hoping to finish it in a few months. I might start publishing it earlier though just to make myself stop dithering about the ending.

As of fall 2018, I've written over a million words!!! Woohoo!!!

Hakama Dake WON for best Kenshin & Kaoru Romance/WAFF in the RKRC for 2005! Thank you so much and Yay!

The most awesome Quenya translated Hakama Dake into Italian. Wowzers! Go find her if you know Italian.

Passion ...

Passion, it lies in all of us. Sleeping...waiting...and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir...open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us...guides us...Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love...the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.
