About Me

"I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss!" -- Chalres Dickens

Not all that much to say "about me." I work in a little bookstore, and I'm a huge nerd. That just about sums me up. I like books, movies and vintage cartoons. I like to dance to old Jazz and wear frilly princess dresses and flower crowns- it makes life just a little bit more interesting. I have an extensive collection of lunchboxes, gnomes, pink lipstick and Firda Kahlo prints. Anywho, to be more to the point, I'm a writer but not much of a poet, a photographer and I might be considered an artist "I'm heaven sent... don't you dare forget..."

Currently Reading: Courtesan by Dian Haeger
