I started writing fan fiction many years ago – before I even knew what fan fiction was. Then, someone told me about fan fiction. net and I got a little hooked. I dipped my feet in the water with a LOTR piece. It is light and fluffy, and my main character was accused of being a Mary Sue. I was so new at all of this that I had to ask what a “Mary Sue” was. I’ll admit, that character (who you can read about in “Rose of Gondor” is a little too perfect, but I don’t think she is QUITE bad enough to be a Mary Sue!

After posting that and getting some feedback, I was hooked.

At this point, my primary fandoms I’ve written in are "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", but I have dabbled in the Three Musketeers and Star Wars. I’d like to add Pirates of the Caribbean to that as well as Babylon 5. One of these days, I’ll get to those!

You’ll find that most of my stories have elements of romance, action, and drama, and that I am a die-hard AU fan. I like to be able to get creative with stories. I have a lot of respect for people who write canon, but my creativity flows much better when I can add a character of my own and wonder, “what if…”

In addition to fan fiction, I do write original fiction as well. I published (through a POD house) my first novel, “Darkstar Rising”, a few years ago and am currently working my way through a new manuscript that I hope – someday – will be a full-fledged trilogy.
