  <about><![CDATA[NOTE: Friend requests: Please send a brief note telling me something about yourself and why you'd like me to approve your friend request. I will not approve friend requests without some information from you. Thanks!

What I'm working on now: Two books, one a professional book on teaching (I'm just waiting on a contract, so please keep your fingers crossed) and that damn modern fantasy novel that keeps waking me up at night.

What I used to do: Work as a game writer for the old ICE and for White Wolf. I haven't written for White Wolf in a while (Werewolf: The Forsaken), but I was a playtester on Changeling: The Lost. I've been very busy with my &quot;full-time&quot; career as a college teacher for the past few years, but we still game often, usually White Wolf or Unisystem. People sometimes ask what I think my best work was. Usually, I tell them &quot;Kinfolk&quot; or &quot;Uktena,&quot; but I think my best *evil* work was in Book of the Wyrm, 2nd edition (Pentex), and Book of the Weaver (DNA). I was so angry at some of the co-workers at the research firm where I was employed at the time I was writing (who were doing some rather unethical things), I made them into bad guys in these books (all physical descriptions and names changed, of course). Sweet, sweet revenge...]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Manly Wade Wellman. growing up in the mountains, a lot of music]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Middletown, CT (but Asheville NC is home)</hometown>  <born_at>01/01/1966</born_at>
