I am a SAHM with four children and a grandmother--a very YOUNG grandmother--or so I like to delude myself into thinking. I am also a full time college student working on a Masters of Fine Art. I am fairly new to Twilight, having fallen in love with the books and movies back in April of 2010 after resisting my niece's repeated attempts to get me to read the Saga.

Fan Fiction is a whole new adventure as well. Prior to about June of 2010, I did not even realize that the genre even existed! Not too long after I started reading other fan fiction, I started getting a niggling of a story idea in the back of my mind. After mentioning it to one or two friends, I tried to let it go, but instead it grew and grew. While talking to my niece via AIM about it, I realized that I had a fairly decent story line and saved it all to a word doc. I thought that would be the end of it, but the characters had different ideas. Whole dialogues started cropping up and interfering with any other writing I was trying to do for school. So, I started writing. Going Under for the Third Time is the result of that. I hope you enjoy reading Jasper's story as much as I am enjoying writing it.

I have begun writing original fiction. Please keep an eye out for more information, as it becomes available, on future publications.

UPDATE 9-27-2012: The final chapter and epilogue of Let Your Fingers Do the Talking will be donated to the StandUp4Katalina charity compilation. Katalina (penname kroseph) is a dedicated reader and fan of this community, and has been diagnosed with multiple stage 4 cancers. She is facing her future head on, with no regrets, and wishes to raise money for StandUp2Cancer. More information about Katalina, the cause, and the many authors who are donating their time and talents can be found here: StandUp4Katalina Comp
