Excerpt:
I was twelve years of age when I chopped off my hair, dressed as a boy, and set off to save my family from impending ruin. I made it almost to the end of my front garden....From the opening of Kat, Incorrigible (aka "A Most Improper Magick")
Bio:
I'm a U.S. writer who met my British husband, Patrick Samphire, at Clarion West in 2001. Now I live in Wales with him, our toddler son ("Mr Darcy"), and our crazy-sweet border collie mix, Maya. My Regency fantasy trilogy for 10- to 15-year-olds is being published in both the US and the UK. The first novel has been published in the US as Kat, Incorrigible and in the UK as A Most Improper Magick. My short fiction has appeared in several magazines and anthologies, including Strange Horizons, Fantasy Magazine, and BEWERE THE NIGHT (ed. E. Sedia).
Publications:
"True Names" in Strange Horizons"Offerings" in Fantasy Magazine"The Five Days of Justice Merriwell" in Beneath Ceaseless Skies
Writing Description:
My novels for kids are lighthearted Regency fantasy adventures, while my short fiction is mostly darker fantasy, written for adults.
Writing Goals:
This year I want to write at least 3,000 words a week, every week of the write-a-thon.
Fundraising Goals:
I'm happy to offer anyone who supports me on the Write-a-thon a special sneak peek of the first three chapters of Kat Book 2 (a.k.a., Renegade Magic in the US, and A Tangle of Magicks in the UK).
