About Me



Click Here For Myspace Layouts !
Or Get Myspace Comments _______________________________________________________I'm fortunate to be a full-time writer. I'm also a vegetarian, an animal lover (SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS!) and I have a PhD in Naturopathy. I used to write nonfiction articles pertaining to the principles and applications of natural health modalities. Not everyone is aware of how they can benefit from detoxing the lymphatic system or Reiki. Four years ago I took a turn and started writing fiction. It’s fun. You can go anywhere, meet anyone and expand the mind through research. I’ve written in almost every genre, horror, dark fantasy, commercial and sensual romance (under a pseudonym), and have several published works, including a novella. My current project is a paranormal/mystery novel: Modern day woman is researched by a nineteenth-century ghost who longs to breathe again at any cost. While I hunt for agents to query I'm writing my next novel, another paranormal/mystery about FAMILIES of tormented spirits. So yes, among other things, I'm a writer. I exist in more than one world, my stories and my reality. I'm social when I don't feel like being alone, but deep down, I’m a loner. Ideal conversations are about writing, and occasionally I frustrate friends with my lack of attendance—busy with a WIP. It’s all good. As long as I'm able to enjoy real experiences and write, life is awesome! CURRENT MOON moon info ______________________________________________________FRIEND AFERAL.
