She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English, BS in English Education and an MA in Literature.

Future dreams include a cabin boasting a roaring fire, isolated inside a snow-filled wood in the Yukon—the perfect writing spot—and the completion of dozens of future novels and stories. A Rabbit Rescue fanatic and loving bunmom, she also hopes to help rescues all over the world save many innocent lives.
In her spare time--what's that???--she loves to watch anime, game the XBox 360--especially Silent Hill Games, read great works of fiction & play with the bunnies. Coffee Lover, occasional blogger, Keto eater & movie watcher. Her first novel, Rising Tide, was the winner of the Gold Medal for YA Mystery in the 2015 Readers' Favorite Competition.

What Was The End?
Melanie and Lucie are twins, but they are not identical. Instead they are the opposite of each other in their looks.
Lucie is fair, blonde hair and blue eyes. Melanie is dark. Olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes. But they are close. They love each other.
Poor Lucie dies and the death is inevitable for her. When she dies a demon comes for her soul. Does it get it? Does it get her soul? I don’t know. 🤷🏽♀️
Four stars. 💫💫💫💫

A heartfelt and somewhat eerie story about two sisters that have been separated by death. I loved the mythological creature included near the end!

Perpetuates Black Cat Stereotypes
As a cat lover, I dislike the tired usage of cats, black ones in particular, as "familiars," "minions," or other "evil" entities. There are actually people today who still believe old wives tales and silly superstitions surrounding cats. Words have consequences. Deranged subhumans need few to justify cruel acts involving black cats.
The story concept was okay, the ugly depiction of the cat was not.
