about me

Already a published poet, this twenty-something Canadian decided to try her hand at plots not relating to TV shows or role-plays in which she had once participated while still a youth.

Inspired by her twilight and pirate obsessed niece, she began to set out to write a short Vampire story, putting it on her Facebook notes, not really intending to have it read by anyone else, nor did she intend on writing anything further to the tale.

The Enthusiasm for the next chapter was too great, and then the next, the plot quickly developed itself, and she began working hard to produce a good story.

Motivated by Writer Cyril Connolly who said, "Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self." She began to research and now writes more for herself than for anyone else, and more stories are forming.

When I first saw the premise I was actually excited to start reading, the names are a little out there, but after I read the first chapter I was a little disappointed.
