Today' I'm handing the blog over to my amazing friend and partner in crime. I have no idea what I would do if she wasn't in my life. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Madam Akyria!
First off, I must say the same to you, Tammy it's been a crazy fun 15 years with you.
Our story really starts in 2008, when I was looking at a Michaels ad and saw a picture of Edward and Bella, and said huh must be a movie poster. To my son that automatically meant I must be intrested, I recieved all 4 books for Christmas that year. New Moon was on back order. I read them in Feburary after New Moon had finally come in. And woah, that completly changed my life. For the better...
Aren't pen names fun? I got mine through an ancient city buried for millennias. Akrotiri on the island of Santorini. My name started out as Akri, and evolved into Akyria. It is strange yeah? I have 3 grown kids, but back in 2010, my eldest was 14. He's high-functioing autistic. He wasn't one to watch cartoons, for him anything doing with ancient civiliaztions were his thing. And through the years it became mine as well.
I started a blog called Musings of Akyria, which I deleted years ago. When I started reading Twilght fanfictions. It was a way to track the ones I read, as I was a big lurker. And a way to track all the story ideas I would have. Then in 2010 I decided to start a new blog... I named it the Twilight Muses, after the Musings part of that first blog, and I became Madam Akyria.

Madam Akyria will be back next Monday to tell us about how and why she started the Twilight Muse Blog!
