I am a Geek. There is no other way around it. I've always enjoyed movies, books, and really anything to do with fantasy or sci-fi genres. I also do prop and costume making. link to my Facebook site down below. In fact, the main character of the 'Edge of the Empire' series is based on the first cosplay I did years ago. Alas, as much as I enjoy just sitting on the couch painting, writing, or watching TV, I have to get out onto the world to let my Geek Flag fly. I enjoy going out trying new things and typically what I learn helps my writing. 
My biggest dream is that one day my work might be discovered, and I will finally move from Fanfiction writing to Canon Literature. Until then I'll just have to keep writing.
