Becca Vry lives in a high rise in the vibrant metropolis of downtown Chicago with her husband of 20 years, Maximilian, and their 2 daughters. When not doing the mom thing, she can be found at Art Galleries, poetry readings, creating something on a canvas, in the mosh pit at a concert or on the dance floor of her favorite Chicago Goth/Industrial haunts. No matter the setting, she is rarely seen without wearing her Doc Martens. Becca began writing poetry and short stories at a very early age. In the early 2000's, when she became a stay-at-home-mom yearning to break up the monotony of diaper changes and feeding schedules, she rediscovered her love of words once again. While her children are at school, she writes and enters on-line short story contests under the pseudonym GothicTemptress, and has won many fic contests with her short stories, which can be found at https://www.fanfiction.net/u/151705/G... . These stories are for mature audiences only – most are sexually explicit. Becca is now branching out into original prose with her first release, Hopescapes. It is an inspirational short story that will appear in Musings: An Argyle Empire Anthology. Here is the summary for her first published story: "The evolution of lifescapes and the promise of new beginnings inspire many dreamscapes. Two strangers discover that the journey to happiness often comes at a tragic price – the conversation between them, and the connections they realize they share, will alter their perspectives in the most unexpected ways. They will never look at the Chicago skyline, or the broadening hopescapes that expand before them, in the same way ever again. This is an inspiring short story about emerging from the embers of profound loss and hopelessness, to realizing the importance of survival, ongoingness, and the power that comes from re-learning the language of happiness. It's time to head towards the light … Hopescapes, written by Becca Vry." ~*~*~*~* Future releases will include steamy romances for adult audiences.
