Now, what is there really to say about me? My surrogate parents call me by my middle name, Marie, always have. I have several friends who have the permission to refer to me as Kaia (a now almost 9 year old pseudonym), and my nom de plume is often signed with my submissions.
I'm a Missouri native, and aside from a brief, enjoyable stint of living in Pennsylvania, I've been in, and around Springfield, Mo. my entire life. I enjoy living in the midst of the Ozark Mountains, and while sometimes I wish I was anywhere but here, the people I love are here, and if I need to get away from the booming metropolis that is Springfield, I need only head in any direction and I'll find myself amidst the beautiful mountains that make up Southwest Missouri.
Currently I'm 20 years old (FINALLY!!!), and very much the Capricorn of the Zodiac that I was born under (January 11th, 1989), and am happily married to a Gemini. Strange astrological match, if you believe in that sort of thing.
The true love of my life however, is writing my massive Fantasy series, composing songs for, and playing the violin, as well as kickboxing.
I am currently working on a series of novels, the first set (8 books) called the ECLIPSE series, and the sequal to the ECLIPSE novels is the AWAKENING series (10 short stories/novellas. Character portraits and short stories from or based either of the aforementioned series' can be found in my gallery, as well as on my personal website.
I have several side projects as well to keep myself busy during my down time in concerns of my writing, and they typically take the shape of artwork. Portraits of my characters, sketched scenes from the novels, as well as just those "what if..." pictures that I can put to paper, yet never have the heart to add in to the story are often the shape of my creativity.
And lastly, I love talking to people, and to my fellow Atheists, Artists, Writers and Supernatural and Occult enthusiasts, so drop me a line. I'm always open to making new friends.
