Dee Declares...

Shenanigans! Poppycock! Dogs and cats living together! Random nonsense that tumbles out of my mind because I have no internal filter. Yay me! I am a storyteller, a conversationalist, and an idealist. I'm usually up to no good.

About Me

My photo
Dee
I am a writer, internet junkie, reformed WoW player, literary connoisseur, and epically bad speller. I am probably the crazy cat lady down the street. I am currently working on my third novel of the Immortalis Trilogy. Book 1, "Journey of Shadows" is available at Smashwords.

Quotes by Me

Writing a novel is a lot like moving a mountain. Both tasks are daunting, but not impossible. Just as a mountain can be moved stone by stone, a novel is written word by word. Hard work and determination can make the seemingly impossible very possible indeed.

Love is love, no matter the back story.
