Greetings and Welcome to my stories.  I write using the characters and storyline started by the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Mysteries novels.

 

I am a storyteller first and a writer second.  Since the time I was little I have collected and recounted stories of the world around me.  I have told stories in all kinds of places: stories of love lost and hope found; the magic in every day things and the power of determination.  It is in the characters of Sookie and Eric that I find fertile ground.  Their lives and those around them mirror the themes I see in our own lives: ambition, pride, love, yearning.  Feel free to pull up a tree stump and listen at my fire. I’ll always have a cup of coffee ready.

Storytelling is a sharing activity.  Always happy to hear your opinion or have you share a story in return.  Leave a reply and you’ll hear back from me unless I’m traveling (and collecting)….

My Team

If a writer is fortunate, they meet people along the way who are willing to help by lending their considerable talents. I am a most fortunate writer.

My Editor (Beta): A beta reader is a person who takes time and care to catch all the mistakes – both grammatical and content – that the writer (me), in her enthusiasm, glossed over.

Ms Buffy: A legend among us, Ms Buffy is a professional editor in her other life. Still, she finds the time to mentor me and a number of other authors in this fandom. I depend on her sharp eye and wry sense of humor more than I can say.

I would also like to acknowledge Breathesgirl, who started me on my writing path and is responsible for the Bill Compton novel within the novel in Far Reach.

Our Interpretive Artists: A ‘banner’ is a work of art that allows the reader (and this writer) to visualize the characters on the page. Really great images set the tone through their use of images and colors.

Gyllene: A gifted writer in her own right, Gyllene is also a talented artist. It is her work that graces the header of this website. There is something lyrical in her composition and choice of colors. It captures the spirit of romance for me.

 You will also find artwork graciously donated by Sephrenia and American Android.
