At an early age, she realized she wanted to write stories and not just read them, as exciting as reading could be.

Through the next several years, she moved to the East coast and dedicated her time largely to researching stories and learning novel format, culminating in her first book Anterria, first in The Storytellers series, and the recent sequel Atlantis, adventures about the abilities imagination can give. She has also, in recent years, branched into the mystery genre with her first dramatically emphasized novel, Sydne...more


1. What inspired you to become an author?

I've been around books and stories for as long as I can remember, so I suppose it was something that became a part of me as I grew older and I never really questioned the presence of it. I've been told that, when I was just a few years old, I would take books to bed and make up stories for the pictures. Creativity is something I can't live without, and t... read more »

Description: By now, you have realized you are different. You see the world as-is, which is more that can be said for the vast populace. Your reasoning potential is phenomenal, as I am sure you have glimpsed, as well. Yet, I would hope you have also seen why such a mind must be restrained. You would do well to not dwell on the memory you lack. We can’t have you interfering.

Lissa PPS. Here's the whole title and the link:

Lissa PS. Your profile picture reminds me of the book 'Snow'. Have you read that one? It's good except for one part that's skip-worthy. (new word: skip-worthy-- definition: worthy of skipping.)Anyway, there's this guy that has crow feathers on his arms like wings.


message 2: by Lissa

Lissa Go to my profile and scroll to the bottom. There's a little thing that says "comment". That's where you /comment/. Get it? *evil grin*
Nora spelled your name wrong.
I have to read War and Peace for literature. I like it, it's just I took a short break from it and now I have to start it all over again. During the break I forgot all the names.
I miss you guys by the way. You should come to visit soon.

Lissa did you get my email? *glare*
