Hello, My name is Rita and I am 52 yrs. young. I am an aspiring writer of all kinds of stories. My current main WIP is a Historical Romance. 
I was born and raised in Illinois, but now live in Texas.
I had a short story published in an anthology when I was 17 years old. At the same time, I had several poems and other stories all gathered in a stack of notebooks in a box. That box became several through the years, Thank god for computers and flash drives. Clears up a lot of space. :-)
I hope you enjoy my stories, please feel free to offer feedback and constructive criticism. If you are hateful I will ignore you and take whatever steps needed to block you from my page.
The genres I write are Fantasy, Paranormal Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Romance. You never know what the next story will be. My muses like to surprise me.
