Naomi Brooks has been writing since age 9 when she wrote a short story about giants that won a school contest. She continued on, writing Twilight-esque angst in high school, and later Star Wars and Highlander fan fiction in college and beyond. She went pro in 2006, collaborating with Angelia Sparrow.
While she's not trying to tame plot bunnies, Naomi enjoys PC gaming. She as a well-established neighborhood in the Sims 2 and a level 80 blood elf warlock in World of Warcraft (For the Horde!). She also adores her cat, though the sentiment is not exactly mutual.
