edit data

Born and raised in a small town near the Chesapeake Bay, Lou Wilham grew up on a steady diet of fiction, arts and crafts, and Old Bay. After years of absorbing everything, there was to absorb of fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi she's left with a serious writing/drawing habit that just won't quit. These days, she spends much of her time writing, drawing, and chasing a very short Basset Hound named Sherlock.

When not, daydreaming up new characters to write and draw she can be found crocheting, making cute bookmarks, and binge-watching whatever happens to catch her eye.

“Bloody fingers!" Outside the cannon, Simon could practically see the theatrical bow his father must be making. "Thief of hearts and gold, brute of the forest, the most feared villain in the kingdom of Incantus!"

"Second most," the second guard said.

"Do what now?" Bloody Fingers asked.”

The prince stopped fighting for a moment and looked up at Simon. “That’s disgusting.”
