Hi there!

I'm a busy mother and a life-long writer.

I always have a ton of ideas that are trying to burst forth onto my pages. After writing some fan fiction, I realized that I needed my own world. Talking with my children when I was homeschooling, we created Terrenden together. The goal and purpose of Terrenden and its unique history is to be a setting my children and I can use for almost all of our writing. I do have a few earth-based stories to be done at a later time... so, I wasn't 100% successful, but it does pretty well for my other stories.

I've found that I much prefer writing short stories (much more amenable to 'literary painting' as I like to call it) as opposed to novels, but with one nearly finished, I will have to do a couple more as the whole story could not be told in just one book! (And it has simply refused to allow me to break it down into short stories!)

I also prefer third person - so funny that my first short story is in first person! But that's the way with writing - sometimes, you simply lose control!!!

I hope that as you discover our family's world of Terrenden and the A'mara, that you will want to learn and hear more and more about them. We've worked hard to make it great!
