Brief Author Bio: Long-time supporter but first time participant in NaNoWriMo, I'm looking forward to actually finishing one of my fiction pieces, for once! I've started several novels--some alone, some with a writing partner, but have never finished one entirely. I'm tired of my publication history consisting only of analysis and criticism of the works of other people! I have a degree in English with an emphasis on literature, have won several national honors and have been published internationally for literary criticism, Post Colonial analysis, and general assorted papers ranging from the Irish Easter Rising to religious and literary themes. I'm fascinated by mythology, and particularly by the rise and fall of heroes both mythological and historical. This year, my goal is a bit outside my usual area. Spawned by a powerful need to see female YA characters with personality, backbone, flaws and independant goals, I've decided to take matters into my own hands and come up with one myself. I plan to blend my love of cultural monsters and heroes in with my own background as a military brat, and see where it takes me. All of my years of academic papers have become research. Now, it's time to do something with it. |
