Welcome to my web journal, where you'll never know if you're reading fact or fiction! Visit Tea Talk on my Home Page below to learn where my new name originated and what was in my closet back in 6th grade!

Here's the cover of my latest e-Published book, GLASS HOURS available at BooksforaBuck.com Check out what reviewers describe as a 'brooding story of dark desires, passions untamed by convention or law, and a low that ties together souls not only in one moment, but across centuries. A blend of contemporary romance, paranormal time travel, and a strong sense of gothic adventure, this book will appeal both to romance readers who long for a return of the gothic and to readers who enjoy a compelling character driven story.'

Also check out my latest venture, Cates Pieces of the Past, vintage jewelry made with antique buttons!

But for now, read on to learn more about how I balance fantasy and reality, both in real life and my writing!
