About Me


I'm an author of paranormal romance, dark fantasy, erotica and horror. Here's a little something about my current published work:
Most of my time is divided between reading, writing, studying (I'm working on a second degree in English Literature/Writing. My first is in Psychology), and participating in the various online communities of which I'm a part. I'm a longtime Buffy fanfic writer, and I'm actively involved in the Romance Writers of America organization. In addition, I'm heavily into promoting ebook publishing -- it's the wave of the future!
I have a very large cat named Shaquille O'Neil (he was about 8 oz. when we named him that... now he's about 28 lbs.), but we call him The Pig. I had another beloved furry chick that lived with me for 13 years named Miss Scarlett, but she passed away November 1, 2005. RIP. I someday hope to graduate to a dog, but I don't think I'm going much higher than that on the food chain (ala children).
My ultimate goal is to write full time and teach writing part time, basking in the glory and riches of having my books all over the NYT best seller list. In other words, I want to be either Nora Roberts or Laurel K. Hamilton. *G* Hey, if you're gonna dream...
