Me

I am a serious person when it comes to writing and reviewing. With that said, I must also say that I am NOT interested in receiving 'good job' reviews. I need to know why my story is good or why it's bad. I've always needed to know why.

I am interested in learning something new every day, if I can. I enjoy reading history books, and find that anything with history can keep my interest. Like accounting. I have an AAS degree in that, as well as office technology.

Although I can write horror and erotica sometimes, I am often pretty bad when it comes to both. The main genre that I write is romance and sci-fi and fantasy. I have an occasional mystery.

I try and get along with everyone. I do. Sometimes, though, that doesn't work out. I guess that's just human nature and I'm fine with that. If I ever leave a review and you (yeah, you) don't like it, I apologize.

Some quotes I like

"Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - Sherlock Holmes (though I heard it on the newest 'Star Trek' movie)

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” - Unknown
