About RaeLynn13Location: Brandon, Florida Home Region: Age:24 Website: http://www.twitter.com/thoughthappy Favorite novels: Hmm...well, I've an obession with folklore, memoirs, fantasy and random trashy (or not so trashy) romance novels. My life revolves around books and the written word, so the closest I could come to naming a favorite novel would be to admit my childhood love of Lewis Carroll's work that still holds strong today; so I suppose my favorite would be both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. And? I can still accurately quote Jabberwocky, so...nerd points for me? ^_^ Favorite writers: Nora Roberts, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, Jim Butcher, Robert Asprin, The Bronte Sisters, George Carlin, Mary Shelley, Orson Wells, Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, Voltaire, Jane Austen, Jules Vern, Moliere, Anne Rice, George Orwell, James Redfiled, Hugh Laurie, Kate MacAllister, Robert Frost, H. P. Lovecraft, J.K. Rowling (don't roll your eyes at me!), Dante, Laurell K. Hamilton, Ann Radcilffe, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Yeats, Joseph Cambell, Douglas Adams, Silver RavenWolf, Stephen Hawking, Ben Macintyre...and a shite load of others. ^_^ Favorite music: Too much music, not enough time. ^_^ Non-noveling interests: Art, school (yes, I heart school, toss the nerd label at me and run like you stole something, um...writing fanfics and poetry and...well, non-novel written stuff, sculputing, sketching, making masks, reading, IMing, collecting old books, books in general, making jewelery, baking, blogging when I have the time, organizing my online my study groups, sewing, crocheting, going to coffee shops even though I don't like coffee, eating tiramisu, photography, and being random and weird. |

Brief Author Bio: I am a Chicago-born, Gypsy-footed girl that occasionally stays relatively still long enough to write something and every now and again stops laughing long enough to say something. Addicted to tiramisu, mandarin oranges, green peppers and root beer floats, I am also an amateur confectionery and pastry chef. In real life, I am a full-time college student, part time English tutor at my school, freelance paid Grammar Nazi, and constant artist. Apparently, I own far too many books, a statement I heartily disagree with, since my room is only partially overrun with them. You can still see the floor, so I’m happy. I only slightly suck at time management and I have a bad habit of falling asleep on my laptop, Alice, with one of the cats either laughing at me or sitting on me. |

Synopsis: Duct Tape and Tequila (Working Title)
This is the story of a techie and her friends. No, not a Trekkie. Though, Dorothy will be the first to tell you that Next Gen was the best one EVER. Ignore the comic book store on the corner to which Dorothy and her roommates have standing reservations on Tuesday nights , the heated debates regarding proper Klingon grammar, and the Sci-Fi prop collection framed on the wall. Dorothy is a techie: a person who dedicates their professional skills to the production and performance of theater. She, along with her oddball, raggle taggle and otherwise-makeshift family, are about to find out how duct tape and a bottle of Tequila will accidentally save the play and help them avoid becoming the next victims in the gruesome string of murders that seems to be plaguing several fellow acting companies in Chicago.
If that wasn't enough insanity for one day, Dorothy, along with several of her friends are witches, and someone sees fit to target them for their faith. With Dorothy's stalker-tastic ex-boyfriend as the probable suspect behind the probably the one doing all the destructive acts that may destroy the play.
Oh, and you can't forget the fourth generation carnie gone private investigator that thinks dear Dorothy is making all this up! It all adds up to a highly stressful few weeks with a rather madcap, more than slightly drunken misadventure with plenty of yelling, multi-language cursing and a rather terrible production of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Now, if Dorothy can keep the show on schedule when their two leads go missing, the damned cat out of the rafters, herself alive AND pull off a successful family gathering for All Hallow's Eve without drinking herself into oblivion, she'll take a well deserved vacation...but that's assuming she hasn't been murdered beforehand!
