Occupation Author
Location Seattle, Washington, United States
Introduction When not studying science and philosophy at the UW or otherwise cavorting through the Emerald City, Gwen Mitchell can be found at her favorite Starbucks drawing off of the shifting grey skies of the Pacific Northwest to pen (okay, type) dark paranormal stories, which don't always end happily but leave her characters satisfied none the less.
Interests Reading & Writing Paranormal-Romance-Urban Fantasy-Suspense-Thriller-Spec Fiction. Ish. It's paranormal, at least. Photoshop, graphics, and web design. Painting, drawing, beading, scrapbooking, and just about anything that involves glitter or glue. Or string. :D Someday I will learn to play the piano and guitar (well). Bioscience (ecology, physiology, molecular/cellular bio, biochem, microbiology. Yeah, okay, I'm a nerd.) I have a minor in philosophy too. Outdoors, nature, animals, hiking. Tennis, running, volleyball (Go Dawgs!), frisbee. Oh, and fooood! Cooking. I'm tired now.
Favorite Movies Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, The Matrix, Star Wars, Underworld, Labyrinth, Gladiator, Practical Magic, Disney movies, Classic 80s movies (I <3 John Cusack). Too many to list.
Favorite Music I love sexy 80s beats, like Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, but I also a lot of 60s/70s classic rock, and rock and roll: Steve Miller Band, The Eagles, Chicago, The Moody Blues, Styx, Eric Clapton. The Beatles. I listen to grunge/alternative, folk, classical, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Pop, Classical, Jazz. About the only thing I don't like is Country Western. There are very few exceptions to that rule.
Favorite Books Lord of the Rings, Kushiel's Trilogy, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter, The Hollows, Mercy Thompson, The Guardian Series, Black Dagger Brotherhood, Kate Daniels, Psy-Changeling, Sookie Stackhouse, The Mists of Avalon, Outlander Series ... Srsly, hit me up on Goodreads, yo.

What animal would you turn into if you could? Me, definitely a lion or a cougar. Read into that whatever you'd like. ;P
