Brief Author Bio:

I've been writing for three years now. I began in the Dragon World with the Ahnkuran Chronicles, now in Ergona with the Senkan Chronicles, and I've started work on another series called the Tales of the Seven Realms, one of which was last year's nano. I think there's a fourth group hiding, but the name escapes me. (It ran away; I don't think it likes me anymore. Oh well.) This year? Not a clue.

Synopsis:

All I know is that my characters don't like me at the moment for some strange reason all their own.
So, apparently my FMC is a dryad, the daughter of a nymph. Go figure where she came up with that; but sure, whatever, I like it.

Excerpt:

Describing FMC's new friend:
A young girl was standing there, in the river. No, not in the river--it was more like she was the river. That is to say, the river did not flow around her, as it would a normal person--it looked as though the river flowed through her. And she was oddly colored, too--her skin was pale white tinted blue, and her hair was the same shade of blue as the river. She was outlined by the water flowing around her, but it was a simple line sketch, and hollow, for the river flowed through the outline it created. Her eyes were green, like the grasses around her.
