As a lifelong resident of the PacificNorthwet — er, west — she is inclined to be slightly mossy and damp. She has the attention span of a cracked-out ferret, dabbles in a variety of arts including crochet, fused glass, jewelry, costuming, baking, and making miniatures. She lives in a practical brick house on half an acre in sub-rural-burban Washington, where she raises chickens, wrangles cats, drinks copious quantities of tea, and plays far too many games. She also has a commercial kitchen trailer in her yard and a glass and metalworking shop attached to her garage, because she couldn’t decide what to be when she grew up and decided to do it all.
