Who Am I
I'm a writer of many genres, especially fantasy and romance. My current work is a young adult novel about a teenage girl who belongs to a secret time traveling guild. I'm in revision stages with it.
I am obsessed with words in numerous forms and disciplines: languages, historical linguistics, etymology, history of the alphabets, fiction writing, essay writing, journaling, technical writing, graphic design of text, acting through expression of words...I could go on and on. I love studying the stories of words and letters.
I studied ancient languages and civilizations at the University of Iowa. I enjoy singing, acting, guitar and piano. I taught a theater workshop for elementary school kids.
I also started a Wheel of Time singing group with Eleyan al'Landerin called the Flaming Sisters. We dress up as a Brown and Green Aes Sedai and sing WoT-themed bawdy pub songs (during which we are incredibly dignified) and ballads. We write our own lyrics and most of our own music.
I've also written and directed Wheel of Time Interpretive Dance: The Eye of the World, which was performed at Dragon*Con twice and JordanCon once so far. I hope to find time to adapt more of the books.
Senior Member Interview
Why did you choose Brown?
I've certainly matched my share of Brown stereotypes (absent-minded, selective focus, ignoring the world when it suits me), but I am Brown because I love knowledge and I love reading. I never stop learning and I never stop wishing to share my favorite parts of what I've learned with others. I get so excited by books and by information.
How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
It was nice. I was about 97% certain I was joining Brown but I also loved being a Junior Member. I taught a class on WoT Prophecies as an Accepted and that was awesome.
How did you get to read the Series?
In 2003, I worked at a bookstore (where I ended up working four years). One of my friends and coworkers used to tease me about loving romance books so much. I made a deal with him: if I read That Series With Which He's So Obsessed, and I finished it in two weeks total, he had to read a romance of my choice.
That series was, of course, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. When I started it, I didn't like the fantasy genre. When I finished, I was in love and now it's my favorite genre.
I read all nine books at the time in 12 days (I was a student and it was summer), so I won the bet. He never read the romance book and he has Toh to me for this.
Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)
I've attended 3 Dragon*Cons and two anniversary parties. They are awesome and everyone should do it. I also go to many, many local events, mostly in the Michigan area. We have three or four main parties every year, plus smaller ones.
Real Life Events are a great way to truly get to know people and put faces to the posts. Then you can bond even more online!
Do you have a pet?
Not at the time. I do love cats especially, though I'm also partial to dogs. If I were to get another pet, though, it would be a cat again.
Coke or Pepsi?
Neither. I am allergic to corn and both have corn syrup. Plus I don't really like soda anyway. I usually just drink water.
