About Me

Looking for some free time. Fascinated by creepy dolls and scary stories. Think dreams and passion are important for the soul. And ice-cream makes me happy.

Thank you all so much for the kind words that you've left for me here :)

For legal reasons, I cannot read any scripts, story ideas, synopsis, or treatments...please do not send them to me!
