I'm a British gal in her late 30's. I'm an amateur artist, historian, numismatist and genealogist, and some would say an amateur human being. LOL

I enjoy all kinds of books in the fantasy, myth & magic genre and historical fiction too.

My favourite books include: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Manda Scott's Boudica series, George R R Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, Bernard Cornwell's King Alfred series, and Philippa Gregory's Cousins' War series...to name just a few.

Favourite TV shows over the years have included: Xena, Buffy, Angel, X-Files, Roswell, Bones, Doctor Who, Sharpe. Game of Thrones, Ripper Street, Penny Dreadful, Forever, Wentworth, Vikings,

My favourite pairings in the Harry Potter fanfiction world are: Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Fleur, Hermione/Tonks, Ginny/Tonks.

In my own writing: I write for my own entertainment, not for critical acclaim or gaining access to another trumpet to blow. I've shared some of my work here for a bit of fun, so if you hate it, sorry I wasted your time(I can't give you back those minutes and hours) and if you enjoy it, then that's a bonus. If I get the time I try to reply to most PMs and reviews asking specific questions or answer questions in the relevant chapters' A/N notes.

UPDATE Aug 2018: After attracting another troll or two trying to be a critic and hiding behind the anonymity of 'guest' I'm back to deleting guest reviews on one of my stories without reading them. I just have better things to do than feed the trolls. There's enough negativity on the internet without me letting them have a platform. Sorry if you've reviewed as a guest and you've been genuine. The story 'Here and There' really does seem to be a troll magnet, for some reason. LOL If the other stories start attracting the turds too, then I will take the same action there. :)

If you're going to criticize, fine, but don't keep throwing childish insults that say a lot more about the reviewer's own failings and life/mental status than the actual stories. I realize a lot of juvenile teens roam these sites, but I'm allergic to kids or people that act like kids, and my body reacts by using the delete or block button. :) And if you have things to say at least have the balls to own your views by registering on the site and reviewing in the proper way. I won't contest proper reviews. I'm might still think you're a bloody ignorant idiot, whom has taken things too seriously or missed the tone/point, but the whole world can read it too.

The following points should also be noted, though: I don't care about being a 'better' writer, I'm far too old to care about that, so if you want to criticize my style, plots or anything about my 'technique' don't bother to comment... I won't be changing my stories or my methods just to please a few pretentious immature nutjobs. I am what I am, and it is what it is. And I make no secret that I also come across as pretentious and self-indulgent myself, but I'm doing so with tongue-in-cheek and having fun! Some of you guys take things WAY too seriously. After all, the stories I've shared here are Harry Potter ones: I write "lesbian Harry Potter fan fiction"...now say that out loud and keep a straight face...I rest my case! LOL

Some daft trolls have accused me of thinking I thought I was clever. Hmmm, it's been over two decades since I was in the playground and I'm not going back there! I guess that would therefore make me clever, but I've never thought I was clever. ;) I always write things with a sense of humour and a twist here and there, I'm not promoting or sniffing around for my entry to MENSA. Don't confuse enthusiasm and someone having fun writing, with someone who thinks they're planning world domination via a franchise deal with a leading publishing house for their wonderful story idea.(I'm the former, not the latter, BTW!) So, do the trolls actually think I'm clever and are jealous? Who knows?! And who bloody cares!! LOL

I think the following sentence fits in well at this point: Someone once said I was delusional...I was so surprised I fell off my unicorn! ;)

I haven't shared any stories for a while as I have some chronic health problems and don't have the energy to deal with sharing anything else here for the time being. And I'm less of a fan of the occasionally toxic atmosphere on this site and might look for an alternative place in future.
