What to tell you about me?

My writing career began, as many have, with fanfiction. While some of these stories are here, the majority can be found on Fanfiction.net under the pen name: Eclectic Butterfly.

Though I have a few fanfiction stories here, my main writing is in the historical genre. My main love is the Regency era, so a lot of my stories are set there.

Standalone Stories:
Letters and Love
A Chaotic Courtship
My Hands Hold My Story
The Opera Singer's Daughter
What Swims on Uncharted World 550

~A Gentleman of Misfortune Series~
1. Not My Idea
2. Best Laid Plans
3. A Sibling's Interference

~The Sinclair Society Series, accompanying novellas, and short stories~
1. Regency Rumors
1.5 Eugenia
2. The Debutante
2.5 Grace
3. Clarendon Estate

With the closing of Kindle Vella, I'm bringing back The Mystery of Miss Burke for the time being. I hope you enjoy reading or rereading my take on a Cinderella Regency retelling!
