My younger brother brought home "Uncanny X-Men" #290 one day from the mall after recognizing Storm from the X-Men cartoon we'd stumbled across. And with that, I had discovered comics, or rather my brother had, but whatever. Love of comics eventually led me to the Savannah College of Art & Design where I got a degree in Sequential Art. Love of comics more recently drove a lot of my blogging, which led Brian Cronin to me and the creation of She Has No Head! and from there the 3 Chicks Review Comics podcast, reviews for CBR, and a comics columnist gig on Lit Reactor. In other words, comics have led me a lot of good places.
I'm also the author of the superhero novel The Girl Who Would Be King and am represented by The Irene Goodman Agency. I live in Manhattan and love it, but constantly whine about returning to Los Angeles so that I can go to Target whenever I want and have less frizzy hair in the summer.
