Basic Info| Name: | Alena McNamara |

BioMy writing is the product of a childhood spent reading fantasy novels.
Just like all the other teenagers, I like to think I'm different from other teens.
Having 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.)
I attended the Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop in summer of 2008 and am now a member of the Codex Writers' group. I read slush for Ideomancer.
