Brief Author Bio:

Born in an undisclosed location to two parents, or possibly not, Swenson grew up in an atmosphere that most definitely was an atmosphere including activities that were most definitely activities. She enjoyed these activities or possibly did not and was either happy or unhappy as a child, although she may also have been neutral. She may not even be a she, actually.

More recently, although it may have been longer ago, Swenson has done several things she considers either important or unimportant, although she may not have actually done them, or possibly only thought about them. After or before doing or not doing these activities, she participated in a "personal" NaNoWriMo in April, 2006. She failed just 1000 words away from the finish, but resolved to try again. In 2007, she took part in the official NaNoWriMo and successfully hammered out 50,000 words, and either felt good, bad, or ambivalent about it.

This year, Swenson is confident that she will succeed again, although she may also believe she will fail, or not have any opinion at all. Her novel (which may also be an epic poem, series of short stories, or fanfiction) will be of a genre of writing that exists, although it may include some interesting twists, or possibly not.

She hopes that this little bio has helped you understand her more, and she thanks you for your time.

...maybe.

Synopsis: Run This City

Batman meets Eva Ibbotson. In an urban fantasy world, the supernatural is common... if you know where to look. Penny is an ordinary high school girl, born in the "normal" world. When she meets an elf girl named Kara, however, her world starts to broaden, and she realizes there may be more to life than she'd thought. As she begins to dig deeper into the supernatural world, she discovers a plot to use the supernaturals to take over the world. Now she and Kara must work together to bring down the supernatural crime organizations and stop the evil overlord once and for all.
