Bio
My name is Tani
Hanes, and I am a 51 rear old substitute teacher. Im from central
California and am a recent transplant to New York City. The most
important things to know about me are that I'm punctual, I love
grammar and sushi, and I'm very intolerant of intolerance. The least
important things to know about me are that I like to knit and I
couldn't spell "acoustic" for 40 years. I've wanted to
write since I was ten, and I finally did it. If you want to write,
don't wait as long as I did, it's pointless, and very frustrating!

Excerpt
"No,
don't do that, little one, not yet."
"I
fell, right?" I asked. "Teddy came in, he was drunk, he
said—he said some things, you got mad at him—" I looked up
at Gethin, "Matty hit him, then I ran over to them and tripped
and hit my head on the edge of the table."
"What?"
Matty exploded. "Tinker Bell, Theo hit you! He was aiming for
me, I mean, I assume he was aiming for me—" this with another
glare at Teddy, "but he took a swing as he was going down and he
hit you in the face, bloodied your fucking nose!"
"Dammit,
Matthew, of course I was aiming for you!" Teddy shouted. "Why
would I want to hit her?
You'd just clocked me in the face! She just got in between us at the
wrong moment, and I was going down at the time, that's why I swung so
low! Don't you think I'd cut my own arm off before I'd hit her?"
"Actually,
I think he hit me in the jaw," I said, again reaching for my
face. "Could you take a look?" Geth leaned in, turning my
head gently so he could see.
"Jesus
Christ, she has a cut, just under her ear, along her jawline, a
pretty deep one, too," he said, horrified. "Guess we didn't
notice it with all the blood from her nose, but this looks awful."
He turned and looked at Teddy, and his silence was worse than any
words he could have spoken.
"What's
wrong with you?" asked Ronan tearfully to Teddy.
