Some Excerpts
When did you join Queen's Own?
February 1995.
What other projects besides Queen's Own occupy your time?I am a member of the White Wolf fan club called the Camarilla, which is, amongst other things, a live-action roleplaying society. I have a couple of characters that I play once a month, and there is an awful lot of e-mail roleplaying done too. (If you're interested, the main site is located at: http://vampire.tamu.edu/camarilla/index.html <— shameless plug, shameless plug!!)
I also do Tai Chi and am studying IT part time. I work full time in the Department of Defence doing contracting, am a volunteer Emergency Control Organisation member in my building, and the small amount of time I have left after all of that I spend with my boyfriend, Jamie. (He made me type that!)
What got you hooked on Misty's books?
The first thing I read of hers was a combined book that she and Anne McCaffrey wrote. Then one of my friends bought the Vanyel trilogy and loaned it to me, and, well, how could anyone resist Vanyel? He's been my favourite ever since, although Talia is pretty cool too.
What was the first con you went to?
A convention called Phenomenon here in Canberra, Australia, in July 1997. It was much fun! Our team even won an award - "Best Killers", I think it was. (hee, hee)
