I live in the mid-Atlantic with my imaginary friends Mimi and Kiki, who protect the areas under my bed from monsters thinking of moving in. In various parts of the universe, I have a father, stepmother, older sister, brother-in-law, and two adorable nieces. I also have a 91-year-old grandmother who is officially the most amazing person in the universe.

I love to write and hope one day to be published, but since I have a terrible habit of not finishing what I start, I make my living proofreading other people's writing instead. Which actually, perhaps scarily, I really, really enjoy. (Yes, I'm one of those grammar people. Blech.) I have a Master of Arts degree in English literature from the University of Pittsburgh, where I more or less focused on feminism and social gender construction. Historically, I tried to focus on medieval and renaissance literature, but due to lack of classes in that area I sort of accidentally gained more expertise on the fin de siècle. I plan on getting my PhD after I pay off my student loans and have made significant headway into my writing projects, so in other words I'll begin working on that in the year 2182. I have an unhealthy addiction to chocolate and computer games, love to sing, play violin and mandolin, and have about six thousand other hobbies to boot. Although in general a dreamer, I only have one really big (in my brain) lifelong dream, and that is to one day own a large garden overrun with roses and honeysuckle.
