Do you want LJ friends? Absolutely. Please just go ahead and friend me and I’ll be happy to add you.
Do you want Snail mail pen-pals? I’m a terrible snail correspondent.
About me (basics): I have three kids aged 8-13. Writing has been my relaxation and obsession since my youngest was only a few months old—eight years. The time’s flown.
Hobbies: Reading, writing, music, shopping, dabbling in graphic art, being with friends.
Music: Muse and Kings of Leon are my current top two although I have pretty eclectic taste.
Books: Nora Roberts, J D Robb, C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, Kresley Kole, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Anne Rice, Kathy Reichs, Michael Connelly, Philip Yancey to name just a few.
TV: Angel, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Spooks, Inspector Morse, Firefly, Buffy and probably loads I can’t remember. Currently only watching Merlin as a family- friendly show that we all like and can watch together.
Movies: Far too many to mention. I’m not a TV watcher so much, but I am a movie watcher.
What do you write?: I’ve written a ton of fanfic over the years in the fandoms I’ve mentioned above under TV. However, I’ve had an original story bubbling at the back of my brain for even longer and I’m currently writing it. It’s multigenre really but I suppose it’s foremost a paranormal romance with a load of supernatural/angst and action thrown in.

Hi to everyone. I’m looking forward to helping others and being helped myself within this community. I do love to read and I’m very opinionated so I tend to give longish feedback—however, I’m not harsh. I’m here to make friends, not upset folks :) I like to get involved and love nothing better than an active community that I can sink my teeth into, so-to-speak.
