    <about><![CDATA[I have an online diary at Open Diary - purplemouse. I write fantasy, both modern and medieval-based. I'm currently working on several novels, including a vampire series, after I swore I wouldn't get into vampires! I'm published: The Necromancer's Scroll by Sierra Torrin (pen name) in 2002. And I'm owned by seven cats on a farm on the outskirts of Nowhere.]]></about>
