| Introduction | I'm a librarian by day and a writer by whenever-I-can-eke-out-a-few-uninterrupted-minutes. When I'm not wrangling cantankerous fictional people or earning a living, I garden, listens to 80s rock at ear-bleeding volume, and hang out with her husband, son, and reyhounds in Tucson, Arizona. I've lived in 5 states and 3 time zones, the majority of the time in Northern California (where I was born and raised) and Portland, OR. You can stop by my website (janetalcorn.com) or follow me on Twitter (@ja_alcorn) if you have nothing better to do. |

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?
No, I started a band called the Frozen Roses and hired the science teacher to design our stage. At the end of each show, a hammer the size of a small skyscraper would smash a rose the size of Godzilla. It was epic.
