Seanan McGuire

Seanan began writing formally structured poetry at the age of six, and full-blown songs shortly after that; all efforts to make her stop have thus far failed. Her body of work spans everything from Schoolhouse Rock-style educational songs about epidemiology to densely layered mythology and symbolism, and she periodically threatens to run off and become a country music star just to have something else to do with her time. Her first album was released in 2006 (Pretty Little Dead Girl) and her second was released in 2007 (Stars Fall Home). The third, Red Roses and Dead Things, isn't due until 2009, which rather begs the question of what she's been doing with her time for the last year. Seanan is one of the founding members of Lady Mondegreen, and remains quite pleased by this fact.

When not filking, Seanan spends her time working on various novels, the first three of which were sold to DAW Books in early 2008. When not filking or writing, she's generally illustrating something, planning a trip, preparing for the zombie apocalypse, or lecturing her cats. She collects My Little Ponies, and is rarely seen without a can of Diet Dr Pepper.

It is widely believed that Seanan has far too much energy for her own good. It is also widely believed that she does not sleep.

This is almost certainly true.
