  <about><![CDATA[I would never make a great Jedi.  All my life have I looked away--to the future, to the horizon.  In fact, I spent my childhood so deeply engrossed in my fantasy worlds, my parents would punish me by forcing me to watch TV with the family.  I credit those serial adventure shows for my writing style.  My novels are fast paced, with end-of-chapter cliffhangers that entice my readers to read just a little further.  Yet however outlandish my plots become, my underlying themes are always the same--believe in yourself and never give up.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Detroit, MI</hometown>  <born_at>11/04/1950</born_at>
