Author bio:

I'm a wannabe novelist with a lot of first drafts who hopes to finally finish a last draft someday! There are more interests than there is time, but I love to read and write and game and hang with friends and family. I love snarky, sarcastic humor and geek culture. I'm odd and kooky and don't fit in any of the boxes in which people try to shove me. I'm a wife, a mom, a cat person, and a coffee snob. I'm just me.

This year's NaNo will be the backstory for the steampunk character I cosplay and play in an RPG. How did Molly become part of the MISFITS (Multidimensional Investigators of Spacial Fractures In Time)? I'm about to find out!

“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”  ― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The first draft of anything is sh*t."  ― Ernest Hemingway ;)
