Name: Stephanie Erin Sinkhorn

Childhood Hometown: Riverside, California

Enjoys: Garlic popcorn, the smell after it rains, the ocean, cats, Phoenix Wright, alterna-indie-rock-folk-pop, dry wit, Kurt Vonnegut, geeky boys

Blows Raspberries At: Icy rain, smog, shellfish (I’m allergic), scorpions (I swear someone bio-engineered these specifically to torment my dreams), writer’s block

What’s My Story, Anyway?: The usual – a young-ish woman with a B.A. in English (Creative Writing emphasis), a big imagination and a word processing program. Sometimes I dream in verse. Most of the time I’m content to jot down stories about aliens and calculators that unravel the universe. I’m currently residing in Nor Cal where I’m plotting my eventual takeover of… something important. I’m an unrepentant addict of 1.) lists and 2.) parenthetical asides (like this).

What Do You Write: Young Adult fiction, poetry, and some Literary fiction. Freelance writing opportunities are welcome.

Why Do You Write?: I could do some long-winded thing about the importance of communication and the love of language, but mostly it’s because words are awesome.

Favorite Color: Turquoise!
