jenncgfhide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Dragon Age. I'm a stay-at-home mom who, after many, many years of proofreading other peoples' writings, decided to put herself out there and submit something of her own. (There was a story in my head that just had to get out somehow!) I'm a voracious reader and I also like music, my kids and yoga. I don't play a lot of video games but Dragon Age was the first rpg to really excite my imagination. I feel that the writers for that game (Thank you, Mr. Gaider!) are fantastic and really have done a terrific job to bring this universe to their adoring public. I only hope that eventually my writings will do their characters and stories some justice. I also enjoy watching anime, and might consider doing some writing for that in the future, but only time will tell if any particular stories grab a hold of me and refuse to let go. Thank you for reading what I have to say. I hope it entertains you! Avatar pic was drawn for me by MelRedux. |
