I’m Natalie, a 22-year-old artist from Northern California residing in Los Angeles, pursuing my education in the arts. I grew up in a very liberal environment (both parents are crazy artists), which allowed me to follow my own whims and pleasures. I’m an avid movie watcher, Sci-fi/Fantasy reader and gamer. Aside from that, I enjoy the little things in life the most- although I aspire to do great things, we’ll see if I ever get there.

Favorite Movies: The Dark Crystal, Mirrormask, Spirited Away, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Fifth Element

Favorite Books: The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix, The His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony

Damon Kaswell lives and writes speculative fiction with his wife and daughter. His favorite science fiction movies include such classics as
Blade Runner, the first Terminator, and
Outland, but he can’t really narrow it down. The same applies to
the written word. He’s rather fond of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and
American Gods, and Terry Pratchett’s entire Discworld series,
but reads too much to call those his favorites.
