| Introduction | I love fantasy, science fiction, speculative literature and movies, and just about anything with creatures in it! Creating new characters and worlds for myself and others to enjoy is one of the biggest joys on Earth for me. I have written a novella via text messaging service, dozens of articles for WiseGeek and YouthNoise, and currently freelance as a news blogger. My writing (including everything from nonfictional news stories to poetry and flash fiction) has been published at Baby-Line, Ecorazzi, Blink-Ink, Daily Kos, Scottsdale Health, Valley Scene Magazine, Short, Fast, and Deadly, and dozens of other publications, both in print and online. This year I won four separate writing contests, including the Changeling Press Spring Fling, which will result in the publication of my first eBook this fall! I am also a homeschooling mom (believe it or not!) and live with my young daughter and husband, who was my highschool sweetheart. You can read most of my writing (including some ancient fanfiction!) at my blog: http://sarajayserotica.wordpress.com/ |
