Indepth Info:
There is not really much to say about me. I have a degree in Arts. I am a bank teller and pretty much fill my free time with writing. I have three sisters (Stephanie (a Surgical Tech), Leslie (Lawyer), and Amanda (a history major/Pharm Tech) ) and a brother Allen (diesel mechanic) My oldest sister has two beautiful little boys named Walter and Bishop. They are the light of my life. I had the blessing of being present for Walter's birth and he's had my heart ever since. Bishop is our over achiever. He insisted on coming over a month early, then getting out of the NICU in just one week. He's huge now and doing everything right on time, if not early. Judging from his size now, you'd never know he was a preemie. His Aunt Leslie said it's a second child thing and that she'll be sending him to Harvard some day, though I'm pretty sure he'll be securing a football scholarship first cause that kid is tough as nails.

I have been writing fan fics for over 5 years now, starting out with LotR and Harry Potter and then CSI.

My 3 part CSI fiction involves an original character. The last story gave me my cross into Criminal Minds and I'm found that to be the most fun. Thus I ventured out into a strictly Criminal Minds fic and then a second one, Those have been taken down due to issues with age rating and the possibility of future improvement. I have branched out into a True Blood fic with a sequal. My new venture is Hunger Games Fanfiction.

I love fantasy...J.K. Rowling, J.R.R Tolkien, Suzanne Collins, Rick Riordan, Charlaine Harris, Christopher Paolini (met him twice:) got 3 of the 4 books in the series signed), Brian Jacques, Philip Pullman and Piers Anthony are just a few of my favorite authors. I also like Dan Brown, but have only read the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons so I can't really say much for his other work. I've recently finished an original novel which is, of course, fantasy. I hope someday to have sparked someone’s imagination in the way that these authors have sparked mine. It is my deepest wish to one day come to this site (or one just like it) and see people fanficing my book.

I love music. Josh Groban is my ALL TIME FAVORITE singer (check out my Harry Potter fics set to Josh Groban songs.) Hanson is my favorite band (yes I said Hanson). My musical taste is pretty wide. My Ipod includes country, rock, musicals, classical, alternative, indy. A little bit of everything.

I love movies and tv. Mostly I like crime drama or medical drama as far as tv goes...i.e. Criminal Minds, CSI (NY and Vegas), Gray's Anatomy, Castle. I also like fanasy. Not zombies...never zombies...unless there is a hot guy pushing the issue...but he'd have to be like Matthew Gray Gubler or Alexander Skarsgard hot.

Ok...to end I'm just gonna throw out random little tidbits about myself cause I feel like it.

1) I collect quills and tarot decks.
2) I have a 5 tattoos: one on my lower back that says my elvish name (Taraechoiriel) in elvish lettering, one on my upper back of a butterfly (a memorial), one on my ankle of comedy/tragedy masks, one on my shoulder blade of a Taurus symbol and lily of the valleys, and one on my other shoulder blade of the Earth Goddess Gaia merged with a willow tree.
3) I have PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian syndrome) with Insulin Resistance.
4) I am allergic to Coconut.
5) I have a yorkie named Blue (Maximus Blue Monday) and a long haired cat named Sookie (Sookie Cathouse)

Ok...that is pretty much all I can say about myself...I'm sure no one really cared to know that much in the first place, but hey its my bio and they can stop reading any time they like.

Got some ideas for a story you'd like to see me write? Message me. I love hearing ideas from readers...and reviews...I love reviews.

I publish on Sugarquill.net under the pen name K. D. Palmer and on Checkmated under the name Butterflychaser85 and on The Leaky Cauldron as KDPalmer.

Feel free to follow me on twitter or request me on facebook.

You may notice I have removed a few of my fics. This is A) because FF.net is getting kind a hinky with the ratings and B) that I am working on something big to improve them. I will let you know when and where you can find them again.
