I am 20-something living in the United States. I usually prefer the classics, but somehow I began reading and writing fiction. From there I’ve hit a creative spurt from origins unknown. It all started out as a fun time and has turned into something entirely different.

The first sentence is enough to get my attention and what a satisfying read! Poetic, yet highly sensual and passionate, I love the story and how it’s constructed! It reminds me of one published author I admire, which goes to say, the writer is quite impressive. She successfully combined classical writing and romance with a modern twist.
