I have been intrigued with anime since the 80's when I saw my first Miyazaki film, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The rest, as they say, is history. That one movie was the tip of the iceberg for me. The story lines of good anime are wonderful and exciting. It's hard not to like them, right!

After I got married. I turned my husband into an anime geek as well. Yu Yu Hakusho brought him on board and we are currently watching Bleach, like most people in the states. Even though I skip ahead and watch the Japanese anime online. Aside from anime we are outright movie junkies as well. He could quote most any line from a movie.

I have decided to sharpen my writing skills and test the waters, as it were. So, I hope that everyone that reads my stories can be critical in their reviews and give honest critics of my work. My goal with joining FanFiction.net is to refine my skills and become a better writer.

Thank you everyone that has read my first story, From the Ashes. A big thank you to everyone that contributed a review. All reviews were positive and that sure makes me feel good. Thank you all.
