"Bringing together interdisciplinary leaders in methodology and arts-based research (ABR), this comprehensive handbook explores the synergies between artistic and research practices and addresses issues in designing, implementing, evaluating, and publishing ABR studies. Coverage includes the full range of ABR genres, including those based in literature (such as narrative and poetic inquiry); performance (music, dance, playbuilding); visual arts (drawing and painting, collage, installation art, comics); and audiovisual and multimethod approaches. Each genre is described in detail and brought to life with robust research examples. Team approaches, ethics, and public scholarship are discussed, as are innovative ways that ABR is used within creative arts therapies, psychology, education, sociology, health sciences, business, and other disciplines. The companion website includes selected figures from the book in full color, additional online-only figures, and links to online videos of performance pieces"--

One thing I can tell you about me is that I LOVE TO WRITE! I love to bring the readers into my dark, twisted world, and convince them that it's paradise. ;) I hope you like being here as much as I do. I was born in Orlando, Florida and I have been an avid reader since fourteen years old. As a kid, I would sneak into my mother's room to read her secret stash of erotic novels, and fell in love with the genre. Some years later, I got into paranormal romance and horror, and became a fan of Anne Rice, Mary Ann Mitchell and Hideyuki Kikuchi. Afterwards, I decided to try my hand at the craft, and was delightfully surprised that I was blessed with the gift of writing. I now reside in beautiful Atlanta, Georgia (still a southern gal ^_^) and I'm excited to share my gift with readers like myself. If you love steamy erotic romance and dark urban fantasy, check out my tales. Be dazzled by my characters and become lost in my tantalizing world.
