I've wanted to be a full-time writer since I was 10 years old. While I can't do it full-time right now, that is what I am working towards.
I love to escape in my stories and I love to see what my characters are going to do next. Most of my writing feels like dictation as I watch the story unfold in my imagination and it just comes to me easily as if they were actually talking to me.(less)

Solstice Child by Wendy L. Anderson
"So this one was a surprising joy. The basic premise, romance in a Norse historical setting, has been done to death. But the writer makes the character’s her own and keeps things interesting. The prose is great. The pacing great. The characters, and t" Read more of this review »
