: About Me

What goes without saying: I love to write. The written word is my voice. I am hopeless at communicating if speech is required.
WHAT I write: most everything. My specialty is fantasy (you can check out my first, recently released title here: http://stores.lulu.com/bladewings. It's a fantasy/adventure story for young adults - or anyone who is still a young adult at heart!)
What I read: I am a die-hard fantasy fan, but also enjoy select titles of fiction, some poetry, and I have recently taken to straying into a bit of nonfiction.
My hobbies: my main hobby seems to be collecting hobbies. To name the top interests on my list, I have a passion for: art, singing, horses, reading, dance, and chocolate.

My passion is ...

Creativity.

My childhood ambition ...

To live happily ever after.

Why I write ...

Writing gives me clarity of thought. I am constantly surprised at what comes out, what I learn about myself.

My first job ...

Babysitting.

My inspiration ...

God, the world, dreams, music (Rob Thomas especially).
