I live in St. Louis, Mo with a husband and two wonderful dogs who bring us much joy and a muse who doesn't let me rest sometimes in her zeal to create more and more stories. (And in answer to some questions that have been sent to me, YES the muse is a real person. She just prefers to remain anonymous so her husband doesn't give her grief over writing stories with me!)

Being a huge fan of Harry Potter, you can bet that many of my upcoming stories will be from that; I love Sirius and the idea of his finally getting to be everything that Harry needs to have for family. I also enjoy bringing out Severus and debunking the evil bat of the dungeons to let his own light shine through. I'm not a fan of slash fiction, nothing against it, just not my personal cup of tea, so it won't be something I write. My other obsession is NCIS and exploring the Gibbs/Abby family relationship. I keep hoping for more info from the show on their background, but until then I will continue to picture them in a father/daughter setting.

Please add a review whenever you happen upon a story of mine, they make me aspire to better things in future chapters and stories to come! I like to respond personally when people review, so please be sure to log in so I have that option.

Just Because

Just because I no longer
stand in front of your eyes
doesn't mean you can't see me.
Close them,
I am there.

Just because I no longer
answer when you call my name
doesn't mean you can't hear me.
Speak softly, listen carefully,
there is my voice.

Just because I can no longer
touch your hands
doesn't mean you can't feel me.
Hold on to another,
my arms are there.

Just because I am no longer there
to show you I love you
doesn't mean my love is gone.
Place your hand on your heart,
feel its beat.
I am there.

Just because...

In loving memory of my mother in law, Deb and my cousin David. Rest in peace and know that you are both loved and missed!
