Hi!!! *waves* Figured this may be a good thread to have to get to know peoples, instead of everyone randomly running around the board and not really having a clue who anyone is.
I am mysocalledhell on LJ and Crash most of the rest of the time. Crash is easier for most to remember *grins* avid book devourer and wannabe author extraordinaire. anything else you wanna know, ask ... I won't bite hard *grins*

Hi! I mostly go by FreedomStar everywhere but my real name is Candace- I care not which I am called I am currently suffering from an ear infection which was caused by a virus that I caught last week that apparently the entire school (or what seems like it) is coming down with. I am a ginormous urban fantasy fan, as you might be able to guess. I am not a fan of shakespeare and I love to read YA. My favorite author is Tamora Pierce, favorite series of all time is Harry Potter, and I love to swing dance and ride horses. I am a second year at a four year university and am majoring in psychology so I can figure out why people do the things they do. I also work for a Harry Potter website.

Geez.... can you tell I don't do many discussion boards? I should have thought of this!
My name is Jocelynn Drake and I'm an urban fantasy/dark fantasy writer (in case you haven't figured that part out yet). My first series is called the Dark Days series, which includes Nightwalker, Dayhunter (out April 28), and Dawnbreaker (out September 28). I don't currently know how long the series is going to run. Probably until people get tired of reading it or Mira gets tired of talking to me.
I still have a day job in which I write about the stock market. My nights are filled with writing novels, writing blogs, and answer the questions of my readrs. I love what I do. I love urban fantasy and vampires and all things that go bump in the night... but I don't like horror movies. Yes, it may be hard to believe, but I scare easily.
In just some random facts, I love good chocolate, travel, and my laptop. I have two cats (Norwegian Forest Cats) named Harley and Demona. I'm addicted to Batman and wish I could marry Bruce Wayne (and not just for his money). I live in Kentucky, but don't have a southern accent. And I talk way too much when it comes to Mira's world, so be aware, spoilers might slip out when I'm here.

Hi, I'm newfiewife - aka Christine. I live in Newfoundland Canada right now, we just moved here from New Orleans. *sigh* Two kids, one husband, no pets! Anyway, i started reading fantasy as a kid and then only just moved into paranormal two years ago. I love it all - vamires, werewolves, demon's OH MY!! When I read a book I want to KNOW the characters, I want to feel their emotions when i read it. To me that makes a good book.
I'm a total sci fi geek - woot!! Battlestar, Lost, Stargate (all of them) Dr. Who, Torchwood..and whatever else I can find.
I HATE the wait between books. What kind of torture is that?

Hello. I'm lilgumba (pronounced lil goomba from the Mario Bros game) from Chicago, IL. I'm a neurobiologist in training and an anime/music geek.
I used to be a big Christopher Pike fan when I was young and loved his Season of Passage book. Then for some reason (probably school) I stopped reading for fun. Two years ago I picked up Wicked and thought reading could be fun again but didn't go back to it. Then last year I picked up Nightwalker and couldn't put it down. Now I'm reading somethings more frequently now then what I was and learned that I like urban fantasy settings. (Yay!)
Nice meeting you all. See you in the other posts.

welcomes to everyone ... *waves at Nat* HI ... haven't gotten the snack bar set up yet, but I'm working on it.
well then, we may just run into each other... still not entirely sure what my exact plans are for con this year, but we've had the room since september-ish and I've had my badge paid for since november ... still waiting on it in the mail, but there's still 2 months till con. money is unfortunately tight, so we can't do our usual 'go down on Thurs and get settled in and then enjoy all 3 days of the con' since there's only like 3 of us that are going for sure. but myself and a couple friends will be down there no later than Friday evening.

welcome ... glad to have you around ... feel free to wander around and see what chaos you can breed. still working on getting the snack bar, but this is a free range area, so watch your fingers when you feed the author's ego *grins*

I try not to bite. It's just that the fangs get in the way sometimes.
