| Bio: |  Well, here goes nothing.... I'm a writer trapped in the body of a...well, I used to be a copy editor, and now my job title is "Senior Office Assistant," which doesn't describe what I do at all. It's a mixture of graphic design and public relations for the lovely little town I live in. Whatever you want to call it, that job pays the bills (mostly), but I seem to spend most of my spare time these days writing. Lately it's been fanfic (SW, HP, and LOTR), although I know I should get back to writing the original stuff because, well, the only person who makes any money out of fanfic is the lawyer you hire to save your ass when someone sues you for copyright infringement. However, my modern-day Phantom interpretation, No Return, is available through amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/No-Return-Contemporary-Phantom-Tale/dp/1430304391/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196137193&sr=1-1 My life is composed of little interesting bits that have yet to make a coherent whole. Maybe I'll figure it all out on my deathbed. Despite my cynical outlook on many things, I do tend to think of myself as a hopeless romantic (hence the thread of romance that runs through just about everything I write). In my case, that's simply because I know crazy romances can have a happy ending: I had a crush on my husband all through junior high and high school and never articulated it because I knew it was hopeless -- he'd been raised in a very restrictive religion that frowned on people dating and definitely marrying outside the faith. We went our separate ways after high school, and each of us got married. I got divorced in my middle twenties and went on to other relationships. Although I thought of him occasionally, I never really thought I'd see my "crush" ever again. Then he and his wife separated, and he decided to look me up. Eventually we ended up together, and we're extremely happy. He tells me over and over that he never imagined that marriage could be so much fun. It can -- if you're with the right person. So, moral of the story: Don't ever give up on love...and don't let your religion rule your love life. :-P My lovely Snape mood theme is courtesy of ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} _noesumeragi_. You'd think I'd get over the Snape thing eventually, but so far...not so much.My layout is designed by me but based on the "peacock" theme coded by gossymer.
