Magic and Mayhem GRNW Charity Anthology. Hey, and if you're interested, the submission guidelines are right here!
Anyway, yesterday on Facebook we were all getting a bit silly and I thought I'd share an abbreviated version of that silliness with you here -- and invite you to join in.
Basically you just answer the following questions. It's always fun learning new stuff about each other, right? ;-D
So here are the questions with my answers.

2. Diana Killian
3. Her Supreme Satanic Majesty
4. Hi-can-you-tell-me-where-the-restrooms-are? (Any author who has ever toughed out a mall book signing can relate to that one)
Three places I have worked:
1. Los Angeles Unified School District
2. Caretaker for tiny elderly crazy lady
3. Robinsons-May
Four things I love to watch:
1. True crime documentaries
2. Film Noir
3. Anything with Audrey Hepburn
4. The X-Files (only the monster of the week episodes though -- conspiracy theories are boring)

2. Getting a puppy
3. WAVECON
Okay. Your turn! Amaze and astound us.
