About:

So you want to know about the brain (or brainless) behind the stories, huh?

Well, for starters, people tend to think I’m strange. I don’t deny that I’m different. Jeez, I mean, where’s the fun in normality anyway?

Right. Where was I? Oh.

As I was saying, I’ll be 34 until I turn 35 (amazing, isn’t it?!)  I am female (thank God for small mercies) and am currently a resident of the UK, that drab island some snooty, accented people call home. I also lay claim to an overgrown man-child lovingly dubbed ‘Rooster-Puppy’.

I got involved in DA fan fiction back in early 2003 when I stumbled across the wonderful storytelling of one of the pioneer and classic DA writers known as Kat. Being a smut addict from the start, I happily followed the link on her fanfiction.net story to Nuns With Pens where I quickly took up residence and met some fabulous friends and writers.

These people befriended me right off the bat, welcomed me into their growing circle and eventually convinced me (sometime later that year) to try my own hand at writing. They took me under their wings, offered encouragement and constructive criticism – when all I could see was my own failure – and helped me grow into a better, more confident writer.

Thank you all so much, fellow ‘Nuns’ and friends! I owe you everything! *HUGS*

Outside of writing and reading fan fic, I enjoy reading in general, cooking and baking, long walks and meeting new people.

I am also what is known as a Caffeind; a creature of the night (and often day, as well) who exists solely due to the exilir of life, the nectar of the Gods, the irreplaceable, perfect and wonderful Coffee.
