Current status (10/9/09): I've started work on The Enforcers, a sequel to The Executioners. I've written two chapters, but I'm reluctant to post them because I'm not totally square yet on the plot. It's going to be a bit more complicated than The Executioners because I'm trying something new: Three main characters with parallel plotlines that eventually will intertwine (or so I hope). Hopefully I'll have something up soon. And obviously, November will be focused on something else (see the next point).

NaNoWriMo 09: I've decided to give it a shot this year! I have an idea for a story, though I don't actually have the plot all figured out. I think I'm going to wing it just to see what happens. I haven't done that in a while (I usually outline like mad). So we'll see what happens. As such, I may or may not post it here as I write it. If you really want me to, send me a message. For now, you can read the summary on my NaNo page: www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/516562. If you're also doing NaNo, add me as a friend! I'm excited.

About The Prize: I apologize to anyone who wants me to continue this story. I've left it up on the site because I can't rule out that I won't ever go back to it, and I like having it there as sort of a guilty reminder. I'm rather fond of it. Unfortunately, if I ever start it up again, I have a feeling I'd have to rework it a bit to get it up to my six-years-later standards. That's not likely to happen anytime soon, as I have other projects in mind. So if you're wanting more now, I'm sorry. But, it is possible that someday I'll finish it.

LiveJournal: I haven't really done anything with it for a while, but I'd like to get back into it. Find me on LiveJournal as brandogirl. Most of my posts are locked to friends only, but if you add me as a friend and send me a message telling me who you are, I'll add you. :)

My favorites: I like to write in the YA genre, but I also like to read it. Some of my favorites that you simply must read: The Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare; the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead; the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine; the Uglies books by Scott Westerfeld (also enjoyed his Midnighters books). Also, going a little old-school, anything by L.J. Smith (except maybe her new Vampire Diaries book; I was iffy about that one) and Richie Tankersley Cusick. There are many more, but those are my absolute favorite, and they certainly influence me in my own writing.

About me: I graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Nebraska, and I'm now working as a newspaper copy editor/page designer/video game reviewer. My hometown is in Indiana.

When I write, I do it in the "Young Adult" genre, which has always been more fun and personal to me than any other. Sometimes it's horror/suspense, sometimes it's fantasy or comedy. It all depends on my mood.

Oh, also: I'm absolutely terrible at reading other people's stories, and starting now I vow to do better. It's awful of me to want reviews and not make the time to give them myself. So here's me stating I'm going to make an effort. It's in writing, so it must be true, right?
