At the moment I'm writing Austen-based fiction. Okay, so it's fanfiction. While many people think there is something inherently unfair in fanfiction, and that it somehow gives you a leg up, it's like any other genre with expectations and limitations. While a reader may give you an initial chance because they like particular characters, you better provide a great story or they'll put you down just as fast as any other bad book. And they will remember your name a lot longer, and not in a good way.

Aside from the Austen-based stories, I am influenced by British writers. But, I'm also influenced by family sagas, slice-of-life novels and stories that deal with the majesty of the mundane.

My style tends to be sharp and pointed. In real life people aren't sure how to take me. There is no need to try and decipher what I say. "What did she mean by that?" isn't a question you have to ask much with me. It takes too long, and far too much energy to play games and obfuscate. Say what you mean, mean what you say are the words I try to live by.
