: About Me

My name is Krissy, and I'm a 30-something single mother of one. I've been writing since I was ten years old, short stories mostly and have been addicted to it ever since. I've written numerous poems, countless articles for subjects ranging from the old west to relationships, three novels, one published, and hundreds of short stories. I also write for several websites including fanfiction.net under the penname Erin Allen. I co-author under the penname butterflyswest on the same site.

I have several blogs that I also contribute to on a regular basis on every topic from parenting to general ranting and raving.
