Just thought I'd tell you readers a little about me and what I plan on doing later in the series. __________________________________________________________________ ME I'm a white female in my teens. For the sake of anonymity, that's as far as I'll describe what I look like. I have no strong religious beliefs, so you'll see very little mention of religion, if any, in my writing. I take aikido and you'll see a little of that thrown in sometimes. (Aikido is a form of martial arts. You see Steven Segal using it in most of his movies. It's a passive art, defensive rather than aggressive. When you watch Segal do his movies and he throws a punch or kick, it's not aikido.) I'm a hopeless romantic and adventure freak. There, I admit it. You'll see as much of both that I can throw in without it getting either sappy or never letting the characters take a breath. I live down in the deep South, so any y'alls and other Southern words must be excused. ________________________________________________________________ I think that's enough about me for now.
