About Me
Librarian and unrepentant Jersey girl who fangirls Fingolfinians, Fëanorians, and all the awesome ladies.
Blanket disclaimers:
- I'm not J. R. R. Tolkien.
- I don't abandon stories; I just write very slowly.
- Caranthir the empath is inspired by Dawn Felagund, and I'm very grateful to her for letting me play in her sandbox.
- Most of my stories take place in a verse where Gil-galad is female.
