BioTo paraphrase T-Rex--
I am a girl who really likes Batman. And it occurs to me: at some point in my life I'm going to be an old woman!
I'm going to be an old woman who really likes Batman!
You ask if this comforts me? Oh, it totally does.
I have NO IDEA where I'll be or what I'll be doing in fifty years, but when I picture myself talking about Batman everything falls into place.
Meanwhile, I write things.
Well, I'm a recovering academic. I realized I could finish my dissertation, get a PhD, be a lit professor, or I could write fictions. I couldn't balance both, and fictions won. I suspect I'll always have the desire to think critically and write essays, though, so you can expect as much here.
For the most part I write things in the non-category of spec fic: an amalgamation of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I attended the Clarion writing workshop in 2008 -- awesome isn't really an adequate word -- and it proved I can in fact write short stories. Regardless, my brain most often provides me with stories that want a novel's length to breathe. I suppose that's a high class problem to have.
At the moment I'm most interested in horror. Not zombies-and-vampires horror, but the claustrophobia and dread that provokes deep seated unease.
