: About Me

Who am I? That's a good question. I am so many things I find myself hard to define. I'm also not overly fond of labels. I like to think that I'm personable and friendly, intelligent and witty.

I write on subjects that matter to me, which range from religion and self-awareness, to sexuality and fandom. I am an unabashed fan-girl, as well as a responsible adult citizen.

I write fiction and poetry as well as essays and such on the world at large. I am a few degrees north of 40, have a BSBA from DeVry University. I have been writing seriously since I was about 9 years old, when I discovered J.R.R. Tolkien and realized I wanted to tell stories like he did.

What else is there to tell? I'm fairly liberal, Pagan, believe that monogamy is overrated, and am fairly open minded. I don't offend easily and think the we've gone entirely too far with political correctness and not nearly far enough with holding people accountable for their words and deeds.

It's an image fostered by movies and television and books and even to some degree by those who practice magic and witchcraft. It's sort of a romanticized view, one that touches on the broad themes of what witchcraft and magic are...
