Getting to know me...

Hi! I thought I would start posting some bits about myself and how real life inspires my writing. I want everyone to have their fairy tale. I want everyone to have a fun sex life and never feel ashamed about what they enjoy. It should never feel shameful if it's consensual and safe.
I tend to write characters with more realistic jobs, who aren't the billionaire type. I want steam, feels, lessons, and a capturing story. I hope. I want to entertain, provoke, and intrigue.
Please feel free to ask any questions. As we go along, you'll see I'm kind of open, crazy, wild, free, and adventurous. *points down* see, that's me at the 2017 Naturally Naughty in NOLA signing, getting painted up by the phenomenal Angela Roberts from Skin Wars. Then, I sat and signed like that the whole day, LOL.
Besides that, I've was a burlesque performer for years, a roller derby referee, a bartender in the Quarter, spent a semester in Madrid, Spain (alone) studying Literature, have studied respiratory therapy and cardiopulmonary technology, for a while wrote for a music zine (and even edited for for a short period) interviewing bands, reviewing music, competed in amateur bodybuilding and fitness competitions...well, you get the idea.
So, please join me.
Be free. Live. Laugh. Love.

And as a little tease, this is from the story that I wrote.

Elodie dreamed of getting away from it all after the death of her mother and the chaos that had become her recent life. Little did she know she'd get her wish when she becomes trapped in a mountain cabin by an unexpected snow storm when she decides to take some time to herself before a girls trip.

*She did not foresee the strange occurrences that would take place every night at 9:44, nor the magic of wishes that could come true if one only takes the chance.˙

And as always, you can find my other books available at Amazon and other retailers where you enjoy buying ebooks, including Walmart's new ebook selection through KOBO too!
