I hail from a long line of storytellers. I took up the flag in the direction of role-playing games and reviving a dead fiction form (*cough* novellas), but I'm still within tradition. My dual interest in prose and games has led me to story-driven game play and character-driven fiction, and I'm good with that.I'm a reformed slacker forcibly shaped up by the arrival of wrecking balls to my life (known as children). I have two of those and a husband that puts up with an awful lot of bad cooking and zoned out artistic spells from me. I try to make up for it by being a good MMO partner in ESO and letting him win Civilization V matches occasionally.Like most normal, well-adjusted children, I had an early fascination with ghost stories, unexplained historical events, natural disasters, and the occult. Although fascinated, I am also irreverent enough to make a Ouija board out of Alphabits; as such, humor and the macabre have made strange bedfellows in my stories.I draw inspiration from the unexplored corners in life and those little, everyday disturbances. Things like: What is your reflection doing when you aren't looking at it? and What if Christopher Lloyd *didn't* frame Roger Rabbit?I love old, pretty things and old, creepy things, which sums up my appreciation for pin-up fashion and probably cursed antiques. I love magic, mayhem, great costuming and witty one-liners, which means my Kindle and Netflix queue never shrink and I have to make financial decisions between cat food and movie tickets more often than I want to admit.
