Favorite novels: I couldn't possibly play favorites.

Favorite music: This NaNo, my playlist to write to includes bits of the following: Within Temptation, Jack Off Jill, Queenadrena, The Birthday Party Massacre, Collide, Secret Meeting, Muse, Mortal Love, and Nightwish (of the post-Tarja variety), My Chemical Romance, Breaking Benjamin, Down and Above, Rise Against, Alter Bridge, the Beatles (how can a NaNo playlist NOT include "Paperback Writer"?), Fallout Boy, 30 Seconds To Mars, Metallica, etc., etc., etc.

Non-noveling interests: Community theater, computer programming, photography, stupid reality TV, finally watching serious sci-fi TV that everyone else watched years ago, reading, music (listening to and singing along with poorly), parenting, cooking, health and fitness

Brief Author Bio:

I am almost 30, living in Indiana with my husband and two-year-old daughter and our two cats. I program computers for a living, but have always flirted with writing. 2004 NaNo was a disaster; 2007 was better, but I only got to 25K and barely put a dent in the story I wanted to tell. At last in 2008 I reached 50K, but did not finish a draft. This year I hope to finally finish a full draft of 50K+ words before the end of November.

Synopsis: Nia With A Reverse Ring

When Nia Gerard was 24, she stumbled upon a mystery from the days of her mother’s childhood: The as-yet-unsolved murder of twelve-year-old Janet Kathleen Adelaide and the disappearance of her grandmother Betsy. Unable to leave Janet Kathleen’s story alone, Nia begins investigating. What she eventually discovers turns her from an idealistic, headstrong twentysomething to the bitter, haunted thirty-year-old who narrates the story of her own youth for us.
