I really love feedback, and will do my best to respond if I get the chance! I live in the Southern United States and am currently exploring the historical fiction genre and the time period +/- 25 years from the Civil War. I have recently completed my first novel, "Reckless Lives--A Tale of the Old South", featuring Lizzie Henderson, an overly honest slaveowner from 10 yrs. old, through adolescence and teen years, as she meets suitors and falls in love for the first, 2nd and third times, not necessarily in that order. I am working on my second historical novel, "Ruin and Redemption", the sequel to "Reckless Lives" featuring a grown up Lizzie and all of your favorite characters from "Reckless Lives" as well as some unforgettable new characters. Hope you enjoy them!

I have also completed several short stories; Check the second page for those with green check marks! I also write science fiction and fantasy stories.

Besides writing, I love music, art and creating new projects and events.

My business, Flower Power Arrangements is on Facebook in Wilmington, NC. I make flower essences and flower arrangements.

I am also a professional singer (though def. not famous). You can hear some examples of my music at http://www.reverbnation.com/KatherineEstelleRobertsStella . Also at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/26479149 with Geral and Trammell jazz!

Thanks for stopping by; Hope you find something to suit your taste; Let me know if you have any suggestions for stories you'd like to read!

Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I'ver recently posted some chapters of "Reckless Lives" on youwriteon.com, for others to critique. If anyone wants some indepth analysis, and critical commentary, and doesn't mind giving the same, it is an excellent site. Although, most of the wrirters are English, so they have a certain way of looking at things, I think, which may be different from the way readers in other coutries might perceive them.

Hi fans and friends, just wanted to let you know I've updated recently on "Ruin and Redemption", so if you haven't checked in in a few weeks, please stop by and check out the progress! I also inserted a few chapters in the middle, about Lizzie, Derrick and Esme in Charleston. I hope you enjoy those; they are a little dicey though, so feel free to skip (explicit sexuality). Thanks for your support and for reading and commenting. You inspire me to continue on!

I'm back working on "Ruin and Redemption" and "Reckless Lives". Hope you guys like them! Thanks for reading! I've added some chapters to the end of "Ruin and Redemption" and I've also inserted some chapters into the middle of "Ruin and Redemption" Hope you like it. Don't read if you're already disturbed, depressed. Read something happy and wait until you feel better. Thanks for following!
