missaleatoire (Linda)

Hi. Um. Don't really know what to say here. I love to read and write, mainly historical fiction & adventure. My favorite author of ALL time is Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo; The Three Musketeers).  I have a novel of sorts under progress, and the odd short story. I found this site on Facebook, so enuff said there.

I like humor--even if the book itself is serious, it's a pleasant surprise if there was an occasional joking or sarcastic comment to lighten things up a bit. Life can suck...but that doesn't mean one should be depressed about it all the time. Sometimes people take things too seriously.

As to my nom de plume...Aleatoire means random in French. It is the name I used for a literaletter (a literary newsletter...it is a term I coined, and I fully expect it to be widely used, and entered in the Oxford Dictionary within the next five years). I just liked the sound of it, I guess. Which is as a good a reason as any.

Hope you like my writing!
