What to tell you about me?

My writing career began, as many have, with fanfiction. While some of these stories are here, the majority can be found on Fanfiction.net under the pen name: Eclectic Butterfly.

Though I have a few fanfiction stories here, my main writing is in the historical genre. My main love is the Regency era, so a lot of my stories are set there.
