| Bio: | I'm a 37 year old bi pagan geek girl originally from North Carolina, now living in Washington, DC with my long-time significant other, who is an editor here. I run a paranormal webzine called Voices from the Edge (www.voicesfromtheedge.com and myspace.com/voicesfromtheedge). As for a history of my life so far: after high school I spent six years working in music (managed a band, managed a record store and worked in a couple of others, did band publicity, edited and published an underground music magazine called Noise!, did band interviews and reviews for other magazines, and worked a little in distribution). This has given me a very open-minded appreciation for all kinds of music. I love everything from metal to punk to bluegrass. I was also the founder/editor/publisher of deMedici press, an alternative publishing company. We published an alternative music magazine (NOISE!), underground comics (Comics from the Edge & Violent Youth), a poetry magazine (Words) and a fiction/art/poetry/music/film magazine (Voices from the Edge which was totally different from my new, online only version of the 'zine). We also published a couple of chapbooks of two of my favorite poets (Sarah Wyman and R. Monk Habjan). I was also for a time a supervisor at an independent/used book store, where I also edited the store newsletter. I have a degree in graphic design and certificates in photography and computer graphics. I have been a free-lance graphic artist and web-designer, and on a related note a professional art framer, a copy-girl and a printer. Over the years I have also worked for a Shaman/healer as a graphic artist/marketing manager for his shop, designed and painted flower pots for a friends business and was the assistant to the president of the Michael Wincott International Fan Club. I work part time as a barista here in DC. I'm currently completing my first cookbook. I just have the illustrations left to do, now that the hard part of writing out and re-testing the recipes is done. For fun I run a recipe website that is dedicated to potatoes called Tater Bin. I have also been a baker; during the holidays I baked and sold homemade cheesecakes, made from my own recipe. My motto: Food is love. Feed those you care about, and feed some you don't even know, it will do your soul good. One day I hope to get my pastry chef license and be a professional pastry chef. And I have a cool 15 year old black cat named Sebastian; he's the namesake of my oldest and dearest friend Jamie's long-running and wonderful webcomic called Clan of the Cats. Sebastian even has his very own strip called 'Sebo'. You can find Clan of the Cats at www.clanofthecats.com. It's gorgeous and very, very cool. | |||||
