Author bio:

2011 was my 8th attempt at NaNoWriMo and my 5th win. It was my first year MLing and I also organized The Great Train Escape, an 11 hour train ride from San Diego to Oakland, filled with lots of writing, flying monkeys and wrimo bonding, in order to attend the Night of Writing Dangerously in San Francisco.

I run the year around post Nano group in Pasadena at Vroman's Coffee House (Colorado Blvd & El Molinol) on Sunday mornings from 9am - 1pm. (Although I normally arrive around 9:30am) NOTE: All street parking is free all day on Sundays and Vroman's has a large lot in the back.

I'm looking forward to lots of fabulous write-ins with everyone in Los Angeles and beyond!
