I live in the heart of Silicon Valley, Ca, where I care for my mother. In addition to writing my first series, I work full time at a private utility company. When I'm not writing, I’m knitting, plotting what costume I'm wearing to the next convention I'm attending, playing World of Darkness, or reading.
