It's controlled chaos. There are Hello Kitty and MLP stickers stuck to most surfaces. My mouse pad is World of Warcraft. There are dragon toys and miscellaneous plushies on the upper shelves. One shelf holds a box of personal paperwork; another holds a basket filled with DVDs as well as a K-Cup 3-drawer unit, and an incense burner. A cubby contains a box with emergency candy stashes as well as journals and sketchbooks. I have baskets everywhere with everything from food to electrical wiring in them. My phone is here, my 3DS, my Zune, two wireless keyboards (one full, one mini), one point-and-shoot camera, one DSLR camera, Wacom Intuos 5, pens, pencils, markers, and on and on the list goes. I know where everything is though!

The first time I remember writing was as a preteen, around 12 years old. I can remember sitting in our backyard on the deck and "working on my novel." I still have all my original notes and writings from that time and through high school and college.

I'm currently working on two simultaneously. One is a young adult novel which is honestly pretty run-of-the-mill supernatural YA work. Young female heroine with two male protagonists assisting her in her quest to "save the world" while combating supernatural forces. She'll be working to save two worlds actually, so she better be prepared to put in some extra effort!

The other is caught somewhere between fantasy-adventure and fantasy-romance. It contains all the usual fantasy cast including dragons as well as a spreading evil that our plucky heroine and her merry band must triumph over while she also potentially falls head over heels in love. This novel features an original world as well a partially formed original language and original races.

These are both meant for "light" reading entertainment purposes.

I'm honest enough with myself to know that I'm never going to be the next Tolkien and that's not really where I'm heading either. I like to write for fun and I'm not sure how I'd feel about it if it was a career, so indie is the perfect niche for me to satisfy my writing urge, make it a little more than a hobby but a little less than a job.

Every time I go back and reread something old of mine and I don't immediately recognize it as my work and I think - wow, that's good! That's my greatest joy because otherwise I tend to be an intensely harsh critic of my work. I love getting all my ideas down on paper and it's great that I can share them with others now so easily online.

I don't have any fans but if I did I could tell you that I would be a total fangirl about my fans. The very idea of having even "a" fan just kind of gives me a big dopey grin of wonderment.

I'm always working on poetry and I have plans to turn both of my first novels into series.

William Blake, Poe, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Karen Moning, Patricia Cornwell, way too many to list here...

The fact that my German Shepherds will not let me sleep in and will make me pay for it if I try.

Hiking, mountain biking, reading, many different crafts, learning to play guitar, drawing, training my GSDs, and online video games.

Mostly fantasy, supernatural, crime drama, cozy mysteries, and romance.
