Basic Info| Name: | Alena McNamara |

Bio"Those who have no interest in communication do not become artists; they become mystics or madmen." -- W.H. Auden
I'm Alena. I write stories. I read books. I like math and physics. I am not a teenager anymore; I am a college student, and a young adult, and more grown-up than I would like to be, but mostly I am a person.
Since I cut all my hair off to look dangerous and threatening, I now find that people I only tangentially know are willing to come up and stroke my head. (Curses! Foiled again.) Despite this, I like the haircut.
I have lots of food allergies. Sometimes I talk about them. I like experimenting with replacing ingredients in recipes. Or, to be more precise, replacing recipes in recipes, because usually none of the original survives.
I attended the Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop in summer of 2008 and am now a member of the Codex Writers' group. Also I attended Viable Paradise XV.
I read slush for Ideomancer. I work with rare books here.
I live under the same username on Dreamwidth, Twitter, and Flickr; the Facebook aamcnamara, however, is not me.
