I aspire to Miss Jane Austen's advice given to her niece: to be patient, get on with it, think of your readers, and take inspiration from your life. Oh, and read a book every now and then. I love history, literature, and art and when not reading or writing can be found hard at work as an administrator at a renowned museum in the Arms and Armor Department.

I hope you enjoy my endeavors!
