I work in PR and as a byproduct get to do quite a bit of editing/writing at work - but it's all nonfiction  articles/speeches/press releases and unfortunately my name doesn't get to byline the articles I write (oh, the joys of ghostwriting!). I absolutely adore my job - but I miss creative writing! Creative nonfiction was my forte back in my not-so-ancient college days, but it's not what I like to read. I'm using Wattpad to practice my fiction skillz. Which admittedly are lacking.

The way I write is that I publish first...edit later. Easier to get the plot out there and then go back and refine the language and other minutia.

Favorite genres are epic fantasy, PNR, and urban fantasy, but I'll read anything. I'm in search of my reader soulmate who is as diehard a fan of Ilona Andrews as I am.

Random fun facts:
- I'm crazy strong. I can deadlift 235 lbs (that's about 107 kg for my non-American fans)
- I'm a singer. I was trained classically (think Italian arias), but prefer to sing showtunes
- I have dual citizenship - U.S. and Germany. Aber ich spreche kein Deutsch.
- I drink obscene amounts of diet Mountain Dew (usually a liter per day)
- I have insomnia (see above on highly caffeinated Mountain Dew)

Want to know anything else, just ask!

I'm rereading Paladin and I still love it and I especially love how you made Tristen. Because his family was slaughtered by demons you could have made him bitter to Braeden because he is half demon. Instead you made Tristen and Braeden friends and comrades it just shows that he's not an ignorent character and you're not a cliche author. Good job@SallySlater

Paladin has been one of the best books I've ever read on this site. Might be cheesy but every chapter left me wanting more. Hope you post the next book soon!

@MACRO_HEART I really appreciate you stopping by to comment! It seriously does make my day to hear from my readers - it makes posting on Wattpad totally worth it.

And I'm glad you feel some pity for Tristan - he's a little cocky, but I think deep down he's a good guy and will make some lady a very lucky woman one day (and by one day I mean in one of the sequels :P )

@ForeverMalak Haha, it's actually funny b/c my story has all these parallels to the story of the fall of Satan/Christ and his 12 disciples...and I'm a Jew.
