I'm currently a librarian in a public library in Indiana, but my passion has always been to write. It wasn't until a few years ago that I allowed myself to write more than papers for college or memos for work. Now, I love anything I can put my name to - fanfiction, novels,short stories and more. It's my wish to have my work published both online and in print, and though my list of publications and works is short to start, everyone has to start somewhere! Below are some examples of my writing.
