I have been writing since I was 8. My genres tend toward
gothic/horror and, oddly, romance.
My recent obsessions have been in the paranormal
TV fandoms of Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files,
Smallville,and CSI Miami. So alot of my fan fiction is based
on those. I have also written poetry and
short stories extensively and have been
published in small local journals and papers.
I graduated with a B.A. in English/Liberal Arts,
and continue to scribble my unpredictable thoughts
every chance I get...
