I'm a former story mod around these parts, and good friends with the admin and owner, so PLEASE don't try to fuck with me. I'm taking time away from the internet, focusing on my family, and my work as a professional editor at a publishing house. I will NOT respond quickly to messages, if I do at all. Right now, I submit stories on a whim, and even those will be few and far between.
I’d never given too much thought of writing my own stories down until I was in junior high, and my English teacher left complimentary notes on a short story-essay we’d had to write, and encouraged me to explore the writing side of life, rather than just reading. I didn't, aside from the random bit of poetry.
I started writing as an adult, after years of not doing any, as a means to escape the abuse I suffered at the hands of my now-ex-husband, and in 2003 started writing a novel that was eventually destroyed by him.
I finally picked the proverbial quill up again in 2006, and wrote my first erotic story called “One Last Gift”. In 2012, after the caring insistence of close friends, I took another look at it, and fine-tuned the story, re-naming it “A Simple Gift”, and brought it to Lush. My second erotic story, “The Medium” was also re-vamped and added here, as well.
------- I mostly lurk at current times, but I do enjoy reading erotica. I'm still employed by the same publishing company now in 2020, but I also have another job.
I live in the PNW, and love it here!
Interests Music is pretty much my life. I'm a singer (first soprano), a writer (obviously), and a mom. I'm big into family-oriented stuff. I don't need to add that I love sex, right? Please, say it ain't so! Art, crafts, fishing. Learning new things, be it be a new language or just random BS! Sarcasm is in my soul.
Favorite Books Gah! Most all of what I've read. King's "Tommyknockers" was the first 'grown-up' book I ever read. Nora Roberts was my first romance. Clive Barker wrote a book called "Everville" that has stayed with me forever. "A Clockwork Orange". "The Shining". Anything by Lewis or Caroll.
Favorite Authors Stephen King, H.G. Wells, J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Dean Koontz, Lewis Carroll, Laurell K Hamilton, Tami Hoag, R.A. Salvatore, Linda Howard, James Patterson, Mo Hayder, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Clive Barker, and a myriad of other talented writers... I have an extensive library!
Favorite Movies Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Salem's Lot (notice a trend?) Any old horror flick from the 80s, and classics like From A Clockwork Orange, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Adult comedies like Galaxy Quest and Super Troopers. Hmm. Far too many to list!
Favorite TV Shows I don't really watch much TV. In fact, I don't have cable/satellite. I own massive collection of DVDs, however, and Netflix/Hulu and other streaming sites are very close friends.
Favorite Music ANY kind of blues. Rock, both classic and southern. Well, also 80's hair bands LOL. R&B, some hip-hop, very little rap. Country, big band... ALL kinds of jazz. If I don't have music, I'm dead. "Music is the soundtrack to my real life."
