A single mother of 3, I love reading urban fantasy, especially young adult. The characters are less jaded and the romances are usually include the excitement of first loves. I decided to write the urban fantasy story that I wanted to read most, which includes a strong female protagonist, a believable and slow building romance and a dynamic villain. I hope I succeeded.
