CONSIDER THIS YOUR ONLY WARNING: my books have some adult content. Nothing graphic, but there's sex references, drinking, cursing, and, yes, smoking. I am not a smoker. I don't support smoking. But both of my stories are period pieces and back in the 20s and 30s, no one knew that cigarettes could kill you. All my characters are adults, so it's not like they're doing anything illegal. If any of this will bother you, then, well, it's simple. Don't read my work. It's actually quite simple. Really.
Okay, no more bitchy Jersey girl. My name is Deirdre (pronounced Dear-DRA), and yes, it is such a funny name, but I love it. It's an Irish name that means "she who chatters". And it fits! The name comes from a character in Irish folklore who was considered to be the most beautiful woman in all of Ireland. A bunch of guys fought over her and everyone dies at the end. Oh yes, us Irish are so very cheery!
Other random facts about me:
-I'm 15
-I'm starting to think I'm the only person on this site who isn't Christian. I'm an athiest. If that offends you, too bad.
-I read about Inkpop in the New York Times. I'm still trying to figure out if that brands me as the biggest loser ever. Teenagers don't read newspapers. But then again, I'm not normal, if you haven't figured that out yet.
-My birthday is Halloween! really.
-I'm a freshman in high school.
-I've been taking Italian in school for 5 years. I love it! Sono una lingua bellisima!
-Yes, I am from New Jersey. No, I am not a guidette. And did you know that most of the people on "Jersey Shore" are from New York?
-I have two cats, Elfie and Pandora. They're both evil but so damn cute.
-I'm an only child.
-I play the clarinet in my school band.
-I have naturally curly hair, and I love it! I used to straighten it but one day I just got lazy and didn't bother. It dried awesome!
-I go to camp every summer and my absolute best friends are there. This summer, I'm working there as a counselor.
-I want to go to Emerson or McGill University for college. I want to major in advertising, because it's a good profession for a person like me--I like gypping people and acting like the smartest person in the room.
-I love the TV show Mad Men... it's so sexy! if you watch it, message me so we can talk about it together!
-I'm a big movie buff. The last movie I saw in theaters was Avatar... it was a complete ripoff of Pocahontas, but it was so epic I'll let it slide. I recently watched "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" on TV... it's heartbreaking, but so good. It's about the Irish Revolution and it's very interesting.
-I never let the truth get in the way of a good story. That's my family's motto.
-I want to live in Boston or California someday.
-I write about adults because I feel like I can relate to them more. I swear I'm like a 30-something trapped in a teenage body.
I've made a somewhat big change to my inkpop page: I have deleted my IVS series. These books are written under a pen name and I don't feel like they reflect my best writing effort. However, they will still be on my authonomy account, so if you want to read them, follow the link. Inkpop will be dedicated to my historical fiction/romance/drama novels, like The Bayou Moon (up & complete) and The Roses of Cooraclare (up as a short story--once it hits 10k words, i'll post it as a book)! Sorry if I upset any people with this decision.
