I have stories knocking around in my head that have been there for some time, and I think it is finally time to evict them. I have plenty of experience writing non-fiction, but I am fairly new to writing fiction. I have been devouring any resource I can find on writing fiction and the general publishing process. Which is how I’ve come to find myself here.

Lil’ about me. I am a mother to a sassy teenage girl and a fat orange tabby (who I suspect also gives me a fair amount of sass). I work as a continuing education instructor for my local county college…. aaaand that’s it. Please exit through the gift shop.

Looking forward to getting to know the people here. I need all the help I can get.

I love puns! You keep right on punning. I look forward to seeing your stories. If they are as fun as your banter and honesty on here, then I won't be disappointed.

I want to write YA Fantasy or SciFi. I was raised on Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer :)
