- The vampire romance I wrote for Writing Battle made it to the finals! And I'm allowed to talk about it now that the judging is done-- it focuses on a pair of vampire figure skater ex-girlfriends, which is a combination I would never, ever have tried without this contest.
- Check it out-- I have an Instagram now!
