Know About Dana Hunter
(but you just had to ask anyway)
voices. I've named mine Dana Hunter because my real name would force me
to smack people who make snarky comments about it, which is not good P.R.
2. I've been writing since the night my mother told me I was old enough to
make up my own bedtime stories. She ran out of plots. In nearly thirty
years, I haven't. But then again, they're not exactly suitable for small
children anymore...
3. I write Speculative Fiction, otherwise known as SF. If it has an element of
fantasy or science fiction, I'll write it. I'm not picky.
4. No, I'm not published. Yet. But my writing advice comes from the best
sources - years of reading famous authors' advice on writing, plus over
twenty years of sweating blood to build my world and learn how to tell a
story, so my advice is as useful as the next bloke's. Besides, there's a lot of
people who find my columns amusing, so whether they help people learn to
write is really beside the point, isn't it?
5. I live in hell, otherwise known as the Desert Southwest.
6. Tequila is not my best friend, but it's not far behind.
7. The number Seven is my bane. I hate this number.
8. My cat is a homicidal maniac. If you visit, be warned: her purr means,
"Ooo, tasty human flesh and gullible victim...."
9. I like nine. Nine is "Nine While Nine" by Sisters of Mercy and consecrated
to Odin, lord of poets and madmen, so it's a great number. Speaking of Odin,
I sacrifice my cockroaches to him. I hope he's not annoyed...
