: About Me

I am 26 years old, and am currently living in San Francisco, California. I work as a Financial Crimes Specialist for a large national bank and am currently trying to quit my job and write full time. In my spare time I enjoy writing (both fiction and non-fiction), and spending time with my family. I am getting married within the next year (hopefully) and also spend much of my free time planning and irritating my soon-to-be husband with details he has no interest in.

Currently, I am trying to rewrite and edit my first novel, Schooling of a Monster.  After that is finished I will consider publishing it as an ebook, though I am keeping my options on that front open.  For current details about my noveling and work here on Helium you can always check my writing blog, though it sometimes collects cobwebs.

Based on where the deer is living it will also have many other names in the native tongue of that region. For example in Hindu it is the Hiran but in Teluhu it is the Duppi. There are two known subspecies; the Indian chital with the s...
