Brief Author Bio:

I hail from the secretly-more-awesome-than-you-think state of Iowa. I make no claims about my writing, except that my ideas are much bigger than my sad little britches, and I'm okay with that. I am an amateur fashion designer (i.e. I make no money at it...yet) and I am I huge lover of cinema.
Four NaNos... Four failures. I attribute those failures to total lack of focus. And by that I mean I have dozens of works-in-progress and always felt more passionate about them than my NaNo. 2009 will be the year of passion! The year of focus! The year... of success!

Synopsis: The Sorority of Iris

Ladies Belinda Coleman and Devashree Anand, in love of course, think they're going on an exciting vacation by following Belinda's botanist brother Bartholomew on an expedition into the jungles of the politically tangled continent DongYindu. They should have known better, both being part of a secret organization and all. The Sorority of Iris delicately manipulates politics, art and business to advance it's agenda. Albeit a progressive agenda, it's underhanded subterfuge none the less!
Our ladies (and Bartholomew) find themselves as players in a grand political drama, a high profile murder, running from assassins, becoming assassins, in wild disguises, running into beasts mundane and mythical, as well as through countries both familiar and strange. And let us not forget the constant interference of the Consortium for Gentlemen of Industry.
