I'm an English teacher living in Tulsa, OK. I'm married and will soon be a parent to my first child. I've already been a parent to my dog, Tobey, for several years, but somehow, I think an actual child might make for an exciting turning point in my life.

I write about Booth and Brennan because I admire them as characters and see tremendous potential within them, potential to be both romantic and humorous. I've always had a penchant for writing through the perspective of a man, because who better knows how to make a man seem perfect and perfectly flawed than a woman? I think humor is one of the most important qualities in any piece of fiction, and that's not to say I only want to read or write about giggle fits and knee-slappers. But I love to explore characters with the capacity to take themselves lightly and watch them develop slowly as a reflection of those around them, and that is yet another reason I enjoy Booth and the good doctor so much.

Ultimately, I hope my stories stay absolutely true to the characters of Booth and Brennan and I don't manage to turn such wonderful creations of fiction into boring androgynous pieces of crap. My biggest pet peeve is when writers transform Brennan into a simpering romantic moron and Booth becomes a Hugh Grant-like sheepish puppy dog. It is a slight to the characters that have inspired so many writers, readers, and viewers.

I hope you enjoy the stories, and let me hear your inspiring thoughts. I'm always in the market for a muse, so send your ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future of Booth and Bones my way. Thanks for reading!

Tasting Sin by Leia1912 reviews
What's the most delicious thing you've ever seen? Poor Sookie's about to find out. Eric/Sookie fluff in the vein of the early SVM books: a lot of romance, comedy, action. Think of this as an alternate ending from Book 8 on. (CANON THROUGH BOOK 8; INCORPORATES IDEAS FROM LATER BOOKS, BUT NOT DEA.) COMPLETE!
