Author has written 23 stories for Power Rangers, Max Steel, CSI, Jimmy Neutron, and Magnificent Seven.

I write. I've been concocting short stories and epics since I learned what words were and how to use them. The first story I remember writing was about a friend of mine going makeup shopping with her Girl Scout troop. I think I was six.

This love of writing continued into college, where after a dismal two-year stint as a geology student, I switched to professional writing and editing, eventually earning my Bachelor of the Arts.

I now work in a print shop, but I still write on the side. Holding a degree in writing and editing means I am a certified nit-picker. I can't stand sloppy spelling and grammar, so if you want me to even read your fic, please use those handy-dandy spelling and grammar checkers that come with most word processing software.

OLD INFO: Clean versions of my stories are posted here; anything that might garner an M rating is exclusively at my fic website, . That's also where the majority of my Power Ranger fanfiction is. I'm not going to totally take the link down, but the site's been down for a few years, due to Real Life reasons. I do plan on bringing it back up eventually (as in, when I get the spare money for webhosting again).

NEW INFO: I have a Tumblr, under If you've been to the old site and read the old "Saga" stories, I have some new backstory for how that universe has evolved in the last 17 years, and I'm going to start posting my fics from that 'verse there.

Currently enjoying: Avengers, Sherlock, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Top Gear, most of the USA Original Series, among others.
