Hi! Welcome to my bookshelf:) The picture is of two of my kitties - Penobscot (Penny) and Nutmeg. I'm an as-yet-unpublished writer of middle grade/tween books.

My favorite books are The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, and Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I also love all of JK Rowling's Harry Potter books, anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and (of course) YA and middle grade books.
