Name: Maria Alkmini Nickname: Mia Age: 18

Favorite Authors/ Books: Any of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter books, though all of them are great (for those of you who like vampire books, with a twist, this is for you), Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen (which has got to be a classic), any of Sabrina Jeffries and Julia Quinn's books (history romance), A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (soo funny lol, especially his fear of bears), a few Stephen King books (he's crazy lol), the Nerd series by Vicki Lewis Thompson (hilarious, check these out), The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (so sad, but so good) and sooo many more but if I listed them out I'd take up my entire profile.

Quotes: (I'll put some more up at another time lol, but I think this one is really true for writers in general)

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story, you can never quite tell where they'll take you..." ~Miss Potter

Also: Check out ihrtbks' Deserve More website. All the stories that don't get enough recognition, but are amazing despite the lack of reviews (cough, The New Student is on there 0.0 ). You can find out more information and the link is on ihrtbks' profile. Check it out!!

And these are the stories that I'm currently working on:

The Wall: complete.

It's the place where all the hot jocks hang out between classes. They are so stupid. Except for one of them. And he's decided that it'd be fun to make my life a living Hell. Just friggin' great. R&R please!

The Do's and Don't's of Cruising: In progress.

The point of a cruise is to meet new people, wear sexy bikinis around sexy guys, try new things (snorkeling!) and even hang out with your older sister who is paying for the lovely trip. What I did not expect was for her fiance to come tagging along as an early honeymoon and with him...his shy younger brother who also happens to be valedictorian of my class and now sharing my room. Wonderful.
