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.
