About this author

I write stories about characters with real world struggles in otherworldly settings.

I wrote a book with characters that struggle with the idea of having a destiny called PROPHECY GIRL. In comparison, I really lucked out that my destiny was to struggle with comma placement and be that awkward lady who points out puns at parties.

But like Walt Whitman said, I am large, I contain multitudes. Other things to know about me… I wear two different colored shoes. I am a survivor of child abuse.

A day will come at last when I

Livvy I'm glad to hear it! :) And I'm also delighted to hear that I have different books to some of the other book blogs out there because I rather hate to follow the trends.

Team Shane all the way! Although I'm only up to book 6 so I'm even further behind than you. I've just read Lord of Misrule and I truly adore Shane. I think he's a fantastic character.

Yes, definitely need more of Shane. You're certainly right that we never seem to get enough!
