Brief Author Bio:

Shadow is a girl stuck in the fast-paced and homework-loaded years of high school. Some might say she's too quiet, though the ones who know her would argue the opposite. She's been writing forever, or so it feels, but she wouldn't dream of stopping. It's her life.

Shadow keeps a diary, doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, has a wall completely covered in maps, is taking two languages (Spanish and Chinese and is considering the addition of Russian) and has a really bad case of wanderlust.

In the case that she's forced to settle down, Shadow would live in a town called Edison (population 133)--she's only visited there once. When separated from a keyboard or a pad of paper, Shadow's in her bedroom with her music (the Shins, the Kooks, even the radio if she's feeling brave) turned up a bit too loud, counting her collection of plastic dinosaurs or admiring her many stuffed moose (the only thing that can compete with her love of words is her love of moose).

In 2007, she attended Alpha Writing Workshop and was taught by such authors and Tamora Pierce, and Timothy Zahn.

She's not sure how she'll find time to squeeze in another novel this November, but she's willing to try :)
