ABOUT ME
I am lost in my 30's and spent my childhood either on a horse or in a book. I've been sidelined with medical issues throughout my life, and books were solace for me.
6th/7th grade I became involved in role-playing games, and from there on out, I've been writing. A lot. A lot a lot. Not necessarily the most polished works or perfect, but hundreds of thousands of words have been thrown down for the sake of my sanity.
I am all about animals and have had many traditional and exotic pets. Currently, there are 6 house cats and 2 dogs in my house. A multitude of cats, raccoons, and squirrels are fed outside the house :)
