Writer & blogger. Social media, book + fashion lover. I love to laugh loudly, travel often, sing obnoxiously, bake decoratively, and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
I’m a self-declared mythology, fairy tale, and history buff as well a paranormal expert. At the age of twelve, seeing nothing else to read that interested me, I picked up a copy of Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire. Although I didn’t understand most of the book, I was captivated and have been in love with the genre ever since. As my interests in all things mystical, magical, paranormal, and fantastical grew, I began to wonder what I was going to do with myself. Since a major in Preternatural Biology like Anita Blake was not offered at my college, I “settled” with Political Science, deciding that studying political structures and ideologies would be useful for whatever career I chose.
Then one summer, it hit me, if I could not learn about the mythical creatures, I so loved as a child, in class, I could at least spend my free time creating them. And so my career as an avid reader and writer was officially born. When I was younger, I wrote often because I wasn’t satisfied with the way the books I was reading had ended. But now, I write simply because I liked it, thus introducing me to a world like no other. A world where adults, as I was beginning to be called, were allowed to talk about what butt the main character of their new story was turning into one minute, and their piling student loans, the next.
That’s how I came to call myself as writer, one mostly writing fantasy but also “more real” things such as how a bunch of Egyptian gods had huge battle on my college’s campus, causing us to have to renovate half the school with the work not scheduled to be completed until 2025 (no, not really but you get my point…I hope). Anyway, these and other mundane and not so writings can be found around this site.
Also be sure to check out my, probably not updated, Favorites Lists to learn more about what I like (because anything can be condensed to a list).
