Author has written 4 stories for Cowboy Bebop, and Rurouni Kenshin.

Me: Graduate student in creative writing. 23 years old. Owned by a cat. A cranky loner who sleeps on Centaurian time (thirty hours awake, fifteen hours asleep). I teach English 101 and 201 at Eastern Washington University, which makes me very capable of making fun of your spelling and grammar errors. I'm told that I look scary and that I am, in general, intimidating. I don't mean to be: it must be the black hair and piercings. Oh well.

Way of Life: During the summer, I write fanfic (emphasis on lemony goodness, but the dirtier stuff stays on my hard drive-- wow, look at that pun) and work at Chevron or 7-11. During the school year, I write my MFA thesis, go to class, teach classes, and generally lose my mind.

Genres: Science fiction, fantasy, and realistic short stories.

Hobbies: Writing, anime (Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion are my favorites), video games (Final Fantasy, platformers), BtVS, drawing, astrology, Buddhism (when you're as bad a Buddhist as I am, it's not a belief, it's a hobby). Drinking (think Evangelion's Misato-- that's the life I lead pretty much all down the line, minus the heavy responsibility and giant robots).

Music: Tom Waits and Modest Mouse these days.

Inspiration: Give me sleep deprivation, five pots of coffee, and two packs of cigarettes, and things just seem to happen..

Beloved Animes: Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Evangelion, Trigun, Fushigi Yuugi, Rurouni Kenshin, Iria: Zeiram the Animation, Macross Plus, etc. etc. ad nauseum. I've got quite a few thousand dollars sunk into my collection, unfortunately. /slurps Ramen due to being broke/

FIC UPDATES: "KARMA" started off as a series of vignettes exploring the relationships between Spike, Faye and Jet after the end of the series. It got a weak-sauce plot about halfway through, when Fic-Spike got the bit in his teeth, and tightened up from there. It is complete.

"The Character Files" turned into "Hand Grenade," and is complete. If I write any more short stories from the POVs of the Bebop's crew, I'll post them as separate stories. As much as I enjoyed delving into Spike's psychology, the other crew members were resisting the hell out of me, and besides, I wanted to get back to SxF goodness.

"Clockwork Hearts," which is a really stupid title and I know that, is the sequel to KARMA. I wanted to go more in-depth with Spike and Faye, build a life for them and all that good stuff. But those two have issues. The closing to KARMA leaves their future open, and I, being the Spaye lover that I am, want to pin it all down nice and neat. So yes, "Clockwork" is a big angst-ball, and will probably sprawl every bit as much as KARMA, though I'm hoping I won't make the mistake of writing bounties in there this time. (Ooops, I did. Well, it turned out all right, and it got Fic-Spike talking, so that's a good thing).

REVIEW POLICY: I try very, very hard not to review-whore on my stories. Nonetheless, reviews make my cold little stony heart warm. Also, when I screw up, I need to know, or odds-on I'll just keep on merrily screwing up. ESPECIALLY when Fic-Spike does something. He does that a lot.




1. Clockwork Hearts » reviews
Sequel to KARMA. Spike and Faye are together, but they're a pair of crazy people who love making bleeding hashes of their lives. Plus, Jet still needs his happy ending... M for everything.

Bounty heads, Ganymede lobsters, Wild Turkey, diamonds, revelations and caterwauling. Just two weeks on the Bebop. Set after tRFB. SF. Got less angsty as it went along, so I changed the categories. Reviews appreciated now that it's done. STRONG M.

Excerpt: Still, she would not dishonor Tadoko or herself this night. Nor Aoshi himself, out of his head as he was on sake and whatever disaster he had yanked down on himself this time.
