Brief Author Bio:

Um...
Well. Hi. My name's Mariella. I'm 14. I live in Idaho, which is the best state ever. I like writing... and basically that's all I like. I finished a novel at 12 but since then have had to go through 8 rewrites. I'm almost done with the 8th, and hopefully some day you'll be able to find my masterpiece on shelves. I believe that Global Warming is destroying the Earth. I have an awesome family and my dog's better than yours. I'm a Republican. I'm Christian -- specifically, Roman Catholic. I am a terrible cook. You don't want to try my macaroni. I have awesome friends, most of them over the internet. My favorite word is "random." I aspire high, so one day I will dominate the world, become a bestseller, and be known by everyone. I love writing depressing stuff, but am not depressed myself... go figure. I do fantasy but I don't write overused ideas... trust me. No cliches here.
I attend a church youth group. Most of my best friends are over the Internet. My other best friends are in my novels, though they probably hate me because I ruined their lives repeatedly. They'd better get over it.

I have not one muse but two. There's Aderyn, who's constant brilliant ideas drive me insane daily. There's Gillian, who sort of helps me organize those ideas. I can't get rid of either of them or else the balance would go down the drain, and so would my writing. So I'm stuck with 'em.
