Biography

Severely Amended Autobiography

I was born in Manitoba Canada, in July 1971, where I still reside today. I really like it here.

My hobbies have included cross-stitch, needlepoint, quilting, costuming, cake decorating, baking, cooking, metal work, beading, sculpting, painting, doll making, henna tattooing and a few others that I have forgotten.

Oh, and writing of course. That's why you are here.

The writing is what has happened to my brain after years of reading sci-fi and fantasy, mythology and fairy tales. Plots have been the same since time began. 

My writing actively pursues the concept of Happily Ever After that so rarely occurs in nature.

***To answer a question I get asked a lot.  Why are my books so short?

There are a few answers to this one so I will give you what I have worked out so far.

1. To meet my publishing schedule, the books have to be written in a certain span of time. That means shorter stories.

2. I think in short stories. The meeting, the falling in love and the beginning of happily ever after. After that point, the reader is on their own. 

3. I hate to say this, but the reasons are financial. While most of you will think nothing of buying a book for 2.99 or 3.99, when it comes to 5.99 or 6.99 the hands stay firmly away from the wallets.  I live off my royalties, so more is better. It is mercenary, but I believe in honesty first. 

4. Some of my readers want more, more, more. This means faster writing just to stop the emails. I take all of my reader mail to heart and am trying to keep everyone happy. Me first.
