about me

My writing is inspired by the beauty of the Ozarks, where magic is steeped and hidden in the hollers.

My favorite genre to read and write is Fantasy.

I want honest feedback - if you see mistakes or errors, or things that just don't make sense, I'd like to know. The manuscript isn't polished, so there will be a lot to find.


***Note: I am in the process of rewriting. It's also why you may notice I am reading less and spending less time wandering about the forums. So, I'm ignoring red arrows for the time being and will return to start clawing my way up again later.***

A little about me: I work full-time as a metals analyst for a small environmental laboratory and write my first draft the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper, during lunch hour. Being in a lab makes it easy to walk around talking to myself. We're all nuts in there and no one pays any mind. Besides writing, I love being in the outdoors, horses, gardening, and photography.

I love Stephen King's voice and style but cannot stand to read horror if it is set in the real world and the horrific is the basis of the story. Nightmares, you know.
