Introduction I'm an aspiring writer of fantasy, currently working on two books and a handful of short stories. You can find out all my thoughts on writing on my other site, Finding the words. I'm also trying to start a fantasy/ horror/ sci-fi writing group. There's a web page here: The fantastic and mundane, but sadly no members. If you're in the SF Bay Area and would like to join, send me an email at anne.pinckard at gmail dot com.
Interests writing writing writing, experimenting with food, action movies, reading.
Favorite Movies too many to count... let's start off with Donnie Darko, The Matrix, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gladiator, Aliens and everything after (yes, even III and IV), anything Miyazaki, The Year of Living Dangerously, and on and on.
Favorite Music oh brother- brit-pop from the 80's.
Favorite Books currently, i think Mary Renault is freakin' brilliant: The King Must Die, The Bull from the Sea, The Persian Boy, Fire from Heaven; also, Gregory Mcguire (Wicked, Mirror Mirror), Dan Simmon's The Fall of Hyperion, David Brin's The Uplift War, anything Jane Austen, Bronte's Jane Eyre.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
