About The Author
 

a Minisinoo has been scribbling fiction since she was eleven years old and got bored with the usual "write a sentence that uses this vocabulary word" exercise in 6th grade English class.  Her sentences turned into paragraphs, then those paragraphs turned into little stories . . . and her poor teacher let her get away with it.  She even -- horror of horrors -- encouraged her.

a Min comes by storytelling honestly.  She's a storyteller from a long line of them. In native tradition, telling stories is sacred business: holy.  Sure, storytellers tell stories to entertain, but Min likes to tell stories that might actually "mean something," too (and how's that for arrogant?).  What she's doing writing fanfiction . . . well, even she hasn't figured that out yet.  It sure don't pay the rent.  Being serially monogamous in fandoms, she wrote in X-men for 6 years, then migrated to Harry Potter and has even dabbled in Twilight.  She's been on hiatus from fanfic writing since 2009.

aShe's held a lot of different jobs in her life, including bereavement counseling, mediation, general counseling, and teaching college.  She has an undue fondness for drills and other power tools, pretends to garden, and likes to cook -- to which her waistline will attest.  If asked what mutant power she'd most like to have, her unequivocal answer would be "telekinesis," so she could get dishes off her top shelves without climbing on the kitchen counters.  (And like Caesar, she occasionally writes about herself in third person.)
