I'm Ximena (he-mane-ah). I'm nineteen and a first year English major with a passion for musicals, writing, and gaming in my spare time. I am a proud Mexican-American and often incorporate my experiences as as lesbian and Latina woman into my work. 

I love Gothic horror and romance, as well as many other classics. My favorite authors include Edgar Allan Poe, John Steinbeck, and Leo Tolstoy. My writing leans toward fantasy and dark romance. I am deeply entrenched in the Twilight Renaissance and love talking with other fans, but please know that while I adore the characters I am extremely critical of the series.

Bleeding Roses updates on Fridays at 2 pm EST!
