Okay so where to begin? 

I love reading and writing.  

My favorite books tend to be classics, but I also enjoy current novels too.  My favorite classic would be between Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.  

On the other hand, my favorite novels from a more recent time would be Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island and Jonathan Barnes' The Somnambulist. 

I am Team Edward...Rochester, that is.  

I write all the time, but I love historical fiction the most.  

When I was younger I wanted to be a writer, but I don't think I'm cut out for it.  

I'm majoring in Psychology and History.

Most of my stories don't focus on description of detail.  The reason behind that is, I don't like to read detail myself, and I figure anyway I write it, the audience is going to picture it their own way.  I tend to focus more on what people say and what they are doing when they say it. 

 If you like what I write, let me know! Feedback is always appreciated, as long as it is constructive.

I'm not really sure why, but I've been having the hardest time writing the next chapter of Mafioso Man. I can't give an estimate of when I'll post it. I'm hoping I have a flash of creative brilliance in the near future.

I may update MAFIOSO MAN again tonight. No promises, but who knows. I was very pleased that there were more comments on yesterday's chapter.

@lavenderlayla I'm glad you've decided to give Mafioso Man a chance after the ending in Chicago Mafia. I hope you enjoy this one as much as the first and I can promise you that the relationship between Nic and Grace will be much more . . . fulfilling for the reader than the one in Chicago Mafia.

I read your first mob book and it broke my heart that he killed her in the end and that they couldn't be together. Though I really do like how it set up for the second book. It is a love hate relationship.
