Brief Author Bio:

Always having been obsessed with fantasy, it's not surprising that I decided I wanted to write fantasy novels for a living. As a child, fantasy books were always my precious escape, and writing novels is not only fun and what I *want* to do, but it also feels as if I can give onto the next generation of readers that crave escapes from reality. NaNo 07 was my first NaNo and I hit 50 K about three days before it was over. NaNo 08 I tried to beat that goal but fell short by a few thousand words, though I still hit 50k. NaNO 07, I didn't have to worry about anything but family obligations, and NaNo 08 I worked four hours out of three days a week at an animal rehab center, plus have family obligations. This year, I'm working twice a week for ten hour days as a "front desk girl" at a doctor's office. We'll see how well I do.
My inspirations for writing include my Mother, Naoko, and my own urges to escape reality. My friend Matt I owe for a *ton* of my ideas. Last but not least, I write mostly for myself. After all, this is what I want to do for a living.
Happy writing, fellow writers!
