Brief Author Bio:

Chelle Dey lives in Portland, OR. She likes to write for kids, but is thinking about writing a story for grown-ups this year for NaNoWriMo. But she's not promising anything.

Chelle is a graduate student at PSU, and prior to that, she had often held multiple part-time jobs before the economy went down the crapper. She worked as a nanny until the kids grew up too much to need her. She was an office assistant to the salesman at a heavy equipment company until the company went out of business. She was a credit representative until the company was acquired by a bigger company who sent her job to India. She was hired as a seasonal doofus at Norm Thompson every holiday season for many years, until the company moved off to the east coast. During her short stint as a pirate, she looted an entire country's supply of Oreos. That's just how she rolls.
