Brief Author Bio:

Hi! I'm a library and internet tutor in South Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a graduate of Carleton College. I was brought up in science fiction and fantasy fandom, and as such I attend several conventions each year. I write fantasy, specializing in stories about talking animals and other unusual perspectives. I published the novel I began during NaNoWriMo last year (after extensive revision), which you can read about at http://www.thorintatge.com/WhatIsBest . This year I'm writing a more linear sequel. Too much of my creative energy, though, goes into online roleplaying campaigns, where I play such characters as an armadillo trapped on a space-bound bowling alley, or an anthropomorphic raccoon who does magic with mushrooms. I love games of various kinds, as well as logical and mathematical curiosities.

Synopsis: The Kaliko Shelf

A sequel to one particular branch of my non-linear 2008 NaNovel, What Is Best? , this unorthodox novel will follow the adventures of Jemi the mink as he acclimates to life in environs that once seemed impossible--a preposterously huge shopping mall beneath the ice at the southern tip of his planet. As he ascends through the seemingly neverending structure, things get stranger still. What kind of future is available in a situation so uncertain, yet so rich? Is the shopping mall a metaphor for life? I don't know--I haven't written the book yet! :D

I do intend to fill it with quirky wonderful features, though, like tables and pictures and puzzles and hidden messages and who knows what. To make it kind of like a variety show in novel form.
