I like books.
Why hello there, crunchy children
I’m Katje (pronounced “kat-CHUH”). I’m 25 and an unproductive member of society. (Society of Shut-Ins, mainly. We make plans to meet and cancel at the last minute.)
I also write. As much as I can.
What do I write? Fantasy fiction, primarily. Also poetry and blog entries. I’ve published one book of poetry which you’ve never heard of and one novel, which I finished two years ago. I let it sit and collect dust before I could bear to rewrite it last fall, and now it’s out for everyone to enjoy.
Random facts about me, in no particular order:
- I’m a surprise goth.
- I have single-handedly kept the economy alive through my purchases of nail polish and school supplies.
- I, um, still don’t fully understand Twitter. But I try! I really, really do.
- I have been blogging for over 7 years now, and have not gotten any wiser or more coherent in that time. Read at your own risk!
- All my favourite shows get cancelled, with few exceptions (Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek are specific exceptions). I am no longer allowed to like shows lest the producers sense the disturbance in the Yield* and cancel it.
- I cannot live without chocolate, coffee, the internet, and boys in dresses.
*Like the Force, but lazier.
Other stuff
a portrait of the artist as a young woman
I live in British Columbia, have no pets (yet!), rent, long-term committed relationship (so committed we’re certifiable — relationship built upon mutual snarking, ogre-like courtship, and ignoring each other steadily), citizen of three different countries, own too much stuff, use a Mac but am a PC-lover at heart, eat meat, identify as a genderqueer cissexual femme (which means I’m not female, but feel free to use female pronouns and call me a woman), European-Native ancestry, druid-in-training, Witch since I could speak, member of the religious left, low tolerance for bigotry.
*takes a breath*
Also, I’m 5’10.
Interests (aside from the obvious ones of writing and reading, duh)
Yarn crafts, sex, gaming, camping, cooking, weddings, amateur photography (read: cam-whore shots with duck lips GALORE), painting my partner’s nails while he sleeps.
I mean, kittens.
Find me! (I’m easier to spot than Waldo, I’ll tell you that)
If you’re interested in reading some of my poetry or short snippets of prose, they can be found at live in demons and absent angels.
I’m also on Facebook, Twitter, GoodReads (as an official author, even!), LibraryThing, Google+ (where I also have an official author page, which you should circle if you want all the exclusive updates for fans), NaNoWriMo, and probably some other stuff that I can’t remember and therefore doesn’t matter!
I blog at Innocence and Immanence about pagany or witchy things from time to time as well, so if you’re interested in that sort of thing mosey on over and give’r a read.
