  <about><![CDATA[Hi!  I'm Seanan McGuire, author of the Toby Daye series (&lt;i&gt;Rosemary and Rue&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;A Local Habitation&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;An Artificial Night&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a plethora of poetry and more than a few short stories.  I write compulsively.  I can't stop myself.  Because of this, I have short stories in &lt;i&gt;Ravens in the Library&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Grants Pass&lt;/i&gt;.  I also write as Mira Grant (www.miragrant.com).

Having been born and raised in Northern California, I fear weather and am remarkably laid-back about rattlesnakes.  I watch too many horror movies, read too many comic books, and share my house with two monsters in feline form, Lilly and Alice (Siamese and Maine Coon, respectively).

I hold firm opinions about zombies, fairy tales, the Black Death, and structured poetry.  I'd love to discuss them.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Stephen King, Emma Bull, Tanya Huff, William Shakespeare]]></influences>    <hometown>Martinez, California</hometown>  <born_at>01/05/1978</born_at>
