Rumor says Brittany Maresh is secretly a time-traveling, bi-cardial ninja, incapable of being photographed or seen in a mirror. Rumor also says she lives in a haunted house, or is a crime-fighting robot, or maybe is a haunted house. The vote’s still out on whether or not she caused the mass extinctions of the dinosaurs, but we’re pretty sure she’s actually just a writer.
Born and raised in Alaska, Brittany graduated from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, where she studied English Literature, took a whole class on J.R.R. Tolkien, and mastered the art of identifying a quiet corner near at least one power outlet.
When she’s not writing, editing, or lurking on Absolute Write, Brittany teaches archery and tinkers with making a gingerbread robot that will actually walk. So far, the gingerbreadbots only ever fall over and break at the legs, but it’s only a matter of time before her gingerbread army is ready to rise up and over the world, or at least take over the dinner table.
