Introduction	I'm a writer from San Diego, California, recently relocated back home from England with my British writer husband, Big Chimp. Things you should know about me: I'm obsessed with my cat, I think JK Rowling and Hayao Miyazaki are awesome, I'm writing a YA fantasy series, and I read way more books than is healthy. I used to be a library assistant at a British college; now I work with middle school kids with special needs. It's fun.
