My younger brother brought home "Uncanny X-Men" #290 one day from the mall after recognizing Storm from the X-Men cartoon we'd recently stumbled across. I had discovered comics, or rather my brother had, but tomayto, tomahto! 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, which led to the creation of She Has No Head! my weekly column on Comics Should Be Good, which led to hosting a bi-weekly podcast (3 Chicks Review Comics), and then a regular reviewing gig on CBR. In other words, comics have led me a lot of good places.
Outside of writing about comics I pursue fiction writing, both of the graphic and prose persuasion and actually managed to snag a very impressive literary agent, though I have no equally impressive publication credits as yet. Until world dominance via writing is achieved I get by working as the Office Director and EA for an Architecture & Design office. 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.
