Author bio:

I've wanted to write since I first stumbled onto fanfiction. I was never good at sticking to it till the end, so I began using NaNoWriMo as a tool. 2007 was my first attempt, when I got a good 20 or 30k. I skipped 2008 out of the notion that I could carry on the NaNo spirit afterwards, but I lost it.

Which is why returned in '09. And I realised I needed NaNo back in my life because I'd gone really slack, so I couldn't not do it.

I've had these characters in my head since at least '05. I often change my mind about structure, but I think I'll make it a 5-part series. There's a certain literary quality to the whole series, though the subject varies from vampires to suits. I like to think I can make a thriller out of each book. I'm particularly thrilled with the thought of writing psychological thrillers.

And of course, the whole series will be linked together by the characters of each book and their connections to each other, often through family.

It will most likely be called The Spectrum Chronicles, after the variety of characters written from the perspective of each book. This last book is a combination of different perspectives, between different extremes.
