Hey my name is Katrina. I live in the U.S. where I am a college student working as a member of the Army National Guard and peer tutor(english and history) on the side. In my scant free time I enjoy reading and my favorite authors range from Ken Follet(Pillars of the Earth, Night Over Water, Key to Rebecca, et al) to the works of the talented authors of Fanfiction.com. Besides reading I love to write. I mostly dabble in short stories with the occasional missing scene or alternate ending, or on the rarer occassion I have a moment of brilliance and manage to come up with original stories based off my favorite shows/books. Maybe someday... if i get off my lazy bum...i'll post some of them here. With reading and writing being my two most foremost loves I also enjoy martial arts, music, movies, english, history, hanging out with friends, gaming , sign language and swimming (which I sadly can't do anymore due to bad ears tear). oh and spending tme with my cat Tonks(yes after the Harry Potter character...who J.K.R. killed...mutters rebelliously)). I'm always looking for new, good, reads and i'm pretty open to suggestions so feel free to message me with them. And I'm more then willing to lend a hand to the buding author who needs help with charecter or story development, when I have free time, and anyone looking for said help can message me as well. Until next time then, my friends, ciao.

Updateness!
