About me

Gender	FEMALE
Industry	Arts
Occupation	Writer
Location	SoCal, United States
Introduction	In another life I was a newspaper features writer (aka Pat O'Brien), and wrote about art, theater, books and fascinating people. I've got a new name and new passion as a fiction writer who gets lost in fantasy and dystopian novels. Give me weird, give me edgy. I love to go where I've never been.
Interests	Words: I love to taste them on my tongue and find their place upon a page. As for the rest of life, let me experience it all. I love art, photography, hiking, forests, beaches, mountains, good friends and fine food.
Favorite Movies	Joss' TV Buffy--can't touch that
Favorite Music	Van Morrison, Tom Waits, Laura Nyro, Dixie Chicks, Nickel Creek, Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan
Favorite Books	this list grows like the stack next to my bed
