I live in the beautiful PNW and this setting is the inspiration for many of my stories. I love writing, it has been something I've enjoyed ever since I was a kid. Escaping to another world and developing characters that I come to think of as friends, are some of the best things about creating these stories.  Gee, can you tell I was/am an introvert?

Growing up, my bedtime stories were works such as The Hobbit and Pearl S. Buck's the Imperial Woman (editing out the racy parts). Each night we were whisked away to a different world and I think this set the stage for my love of well-written fiction. I have since discovered authors such as Goodkind and Weis, who have continued to influence my love of fantasy as well as my own writing
