I’m a mother, writer, editor, cosplayer, knitter, martial artist, reader, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, granddaughter, poet, black sheep, college graduate, artist, gamer, big damn browncoat, and typewriter tinkerer. There's little more satisfying than finding a typewriter in bad shape and bringing her back to life.
