7 Things About Myself

1. I went to college for Print Journalism and graduated with honors. But I can't seem to find a job in that field and started this blog so my training wouldn't go to waste. In one class, I had to make an e-zine and chose to do mine on horror, which sort of kick-started this blog. I even used my Editor's Note for the "About Me" part of my blog.

2. I did a one-month internship at Horror-Web (as part of the Journalism program), where I got to attend the World Horror Convention 2007. While I was there I got to attend the Stoker Awards ceremony , a Brian Lumley reading, an interesting panel about women horror authors, and met a bunch of cool writers like Brian Keene and Michael Laimo.

3. Little Miss Zombie's name and logo is an homage to the Little Miss books, which I loved when I was younger. I have at least five t-shirts with a different Little Miss character on them (Little Miss Bossy, Little Miss Sunshine, etc.). And I thought a Little Miss Zombie would be neat (there actually is a Little Miss Scary).

4. I'm the Signing Specialist at a Sears store, which means I make those signs that say "50% off such and such a product".

5. I have a cat named Betty who survived a fall off a sixth story balcony.

6. I grew up on a farm in rural Ontario, outside of a small village with a population of 500, which no one has heard of, called Neustadt. If you're a Canadian you should know because it's the birthplace of John Diefenbaker. But no one does, so when I attempt to explain where I'm from I just say it's near Walkerton, you know, the E.Coli place.

7. A few years ago I cut my hand opening a can of soup and it required four stitches. Those cans of soup are death traps....

I had such a hard time choosing 15 blogs. I read so many that I could easily have chosen 50 (I'm glued to my computer whenever I'm at home). So I'm sorry if I didn't include your blog, but if I'm following your blog, that means I'm reading and enjoying it.
