Brief Author Bio: I am a Classical Studies and English Literature double major who enjoys drinking tea (black, sometimes with milk), listening to music, playing with plastic dinosaurs, and making kobolds explode. Hello, bonjour, salvete, nuqneH, dif-tor heh smusma, mae govannen, et cetera. "If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second-greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of 'The Elements of Style." The first-greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they're happy." - Dorothy Parker. |

Synopsis: Daughter of Paper Clips
Big things like Destiny, the Elements, and the Stars, they get to have chosen ones all the time. Now, the little things are getting their turn.
Sara Brown is the most ordinary person in the world. But when she wakes up on her half-birthday to find a two-foot paper clip floating at the foot of her bed, she realizes that things are about to get a whole lot less ordinary…
The strangeness begins with the paper clip, and continues with the arrival of Sara’s self-appointed “Mysterious Mentor,” a teenage girl named Nikki who is almost certainly insane. Nikki instructs Sara on her destiny as the Chosen One of Office Supplies, and tries to teach her about the evil forces that are gathering on the edge of reality.
For only the Daughter of Paper Clips will stand a chance against the armies of Purple.
Excerpt: Daughter of Paper Clips
The mist rolled ominously over the temple floor. It had better be rolling ominously, thought Griffin behind his mystical expression, considering how many hours they had spent getting it to roll just right. It was easy enough to say that there needed to be ominous smoke for this Night of Momentous Significance, but finding the proper balance between billowing clouds and something they could actually see through was no easy task.
