Brief Author Bio:

I am a licensed Massage Therapist who works as an administrator at my local hospital. I spend a good deal of my spare time writing both fiction and simply in a journal. I'm addicted to my Moleskines and my bicycles. I like spunky characters, witty dialogue, and interesting plot twists (don't we all?).

My ultimate goal in life is to work as a massage therapist and write while raising my own children. I was homeschooled as a kid and would love to be able to do the same for my own offspring.

The push for my NaNo last year and again this year is my fiancee (who proudly wears her "I'm a Lover, Not a Writer" tee during November) who reads my novel in Google Docs almost every day to catch up on my story!

Synopsis: Magdalena Crane: Rogue Zombie Hunter

This story is the life of Magdalena Crane, a dancer, lover, homesteader, singer, tutor, and any other number of professions. As a young girl in Saint George, Magdalena hoped for something more from her life than being a dancer in the chorus and, some nights, a moderately paid whore. She hoped to save up enough money to someday find herself a good and comfortable life that didn't revolve around whether she had food for her belly or not. Also, she wished to escape to a big city with a true world of opportunities.

Add to all of this the fact that Mags has a serious account to reckon. Her parents were ruthlessly murdered by brain-hungry zombies and she's out to get herself some vengeance. She'll do whatever it takes to start wiping their ugly faces off the map of her world. But how do you hunt zombies when you don't always know which people are people and which are master-controlled zombies? (The snarling, "braaaaiiiiiiiiins," yelling ones are the obvious, rogue zombies, of course. They're easy to spot.)
