About me:

I'm 47 now, I can't believe it's been 5 years since I updated by Bio!  I am no longer an embarrasment to my kids, they've progressed to the age of leaving the nest, in fact one is at college now and the others will leave in the next few years.  Unfortunately for my writing I'm back at work full time with our local school district as a Speech Therapist, and that has drastically cut into my writing time.  Not to mention doing plays and costumes for plays!  I am currently working on a story, I hope to finish it this summer (2011) and have it beta'd and posted by the fall.

    I absolutely adore this story, and I'm really enjoying Snape trying to father these very different young men! Good job!

    Author's Response: aww, you're sweet and I'm glad you're enjoying Snape's attempts to parent both Harry and Draco, it ain't easy!

    AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
    You made my day every time a new chapter announcement came to my box and now it's over??? I would LOVE to see a sequel!

    Author's Response: Aww, you're sweet! I love that you enjoyed my work so much. :) I have a plotline stewing for a sequel, but first I'm going to finish my other two fics, Arms of A dark Angel and Where Shadows Go, if you want check them out.  They're different from this one, but I think they're just as good. 

A guilt-stricken Harry finds solace with a mysterious black stallion, never dreaming it's the Animagus form of Severus Snape. But Harry has a dark secret, one that could mean his death unless Snape discovers it in time. AU, no slash! Angsty!Harry Mentor! Animagus! Snape, some Draco too! HP/HG

    I loved your challenge story so much I decided to go back and read your other stories, this one made me cry. It was beautifully written, and I'm so glad to see that Severus survived and went on to be somewhat content.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ (blushes) I'm really pleased (and flattered) that you did. Wizard's Debt is probably my most weepy story yet, which is unsurprising, really, considering it tackles the question; what is easiest, dying for someone or enduring a life of agony for them? In canon, we see hardly anything of Snape's day to day struggle and I thought it was a facet of his life worth exploring, albiet in the past tense. Thanks for the review 

After nearly freezing to death outside his relative's home, little Harry is rescued by first a spirit and then a snarky git! The adventure isn't over yet though, as Snape soon realizes that his charge's problems aren't limited to just frostbite.

    This was such a sad story, so poignant, and so very well written. I adore that it was all Dumbledore's fault, and that it was because he was trying to do what was best for the person, again! Thank you for a great read!

One dash Potter, one sprig Snape. Mix well. The result? A Potter-Snape potion (story) with the ability to see beyond prejudices, reach common ground, and help one another heal from past wounds and present dangers. Eventually. Post GOF.

    I loved this story, I loved the way you portrayed Severus, the complexity of his character and they way he showed he cared for Harry. Well done! Will there be more?

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm seriously considering writing a sequel now, considering how well this universe has been recieved, but I'm going to need a little time to think up a plot, not to mention making some serious headway on two stories which have been on the backburner for too long. Oh, and a sequel to When The Boat Comes In. And couple of fic-ideas which haven't even been started yet. //drowns in ink//
