Date First Story Posted: January 1998
Author Profile ~ TAE wrote her first piece of fanfic in January
1998. Her muses (Sweetness and Light, and Dark and Gloomy) are
bottomless
wells of inspiration who bash her with new stories, quite regularly.
Her
other interests include: reading voraciously, ceramics, flying pocket
kites,
riding, and participating in the annual 49er Wagon Train. Her family
consists
of one parrot (Ross), one cat (Puppy, yes you may ask why he is called
Puppy), one shephard/husky/wolf mix (Sheffield, unless he's been really
good, then it becomes Chief), and three horses (A.C. Lee, Final Legacy,
and Harpsichord). Any feedback other than flames is most welcome, but
please
be specific.
