As a kid, she consumed all kinds of sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal entertainment from books to movies. Then she was gifted a dog-eared copy of The Return of Rafe Mackade, and romance had a new superfan. She currently lives in central Ohio with her husband, wrangling five kids, a cowardly guard dog, and two cats named Fluffy Evil and Vicious Little Panther. She wishes Eureka's Global Dynamics was real, thinks Red Dwarf deserves all the fancy-schmancy awards provided they're presented at a wine bar, and prefers her coffee with hot chocolate bombs.
