Where Knowledge Rules

Jess Howe's Zone

Basic Information about Me

I have a kitten, and a fiance, and both tolerate my craziness with writing schedules changing all the time, getting up in the middle of the night to scribble down notes, pulling 24-hour writing marathons and then crashing for another twelve, and stopping in the middle of the supermarket to write an idea into the little book I carry. Otherwise I'm a rabid Red Sox fan, and I have had lupus erythematosis since I was ten years old.

What I Like to Write About

I'm best at creative writing, so that's where you'll find me most often on helium. It could be either story, song, or poetry; I don't mind as long as it's creative writing. I write science fiction and fantasy for other magazines, such as Mythic Circle or Silverblade.net.

I've even just gotten a story published in the anthology Stereo Opticon by Drollerie Press. So you can see I get around on the 'Net!

For other info about what I write at places other than helium, please look over at my webpage: http://howewriter2000.4t.com.

Short Stories: The Beggar Woman

Short Stories: Irish Eyes
