This Southern-born and -bred mother of four has lived all over the US and abroad, but my heart is and always has been in North Carolina. I love to cook, eat, read, write, sing, talk politics and world issues, veg in front of the TV and watch good shows, and, most of all, play and spend time with my kids. Writing is my passion, and it is also my bread-and-butter, since I edit and ghost-write professionally by trade. These stories are all older and none are finished, but they are representative of my emerging out of my creative shell and trying to create something of my own after a decades-long creative drought, while staying within another's universe (in this case, the Twilight universe), learning how to spread my own wings, so to speak. I hope you enjoy these stories; my life and my writing is a work in progress, and all input is appreciated and welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read and, if you have the time and inclination, to comment. I hope my stories entertain and, maybe, inspire you.
