Q: I heard you play World of Warcraft. Horde or Alliance?

A: For the Horde, Baby!

Q: You also write fantasy. Why didn’t you use one of your gaming names, like Shandryll Spiritwind and go with a fantasy theme?

A: Shandryll is a changed spelling of the name of a character in a book, so I didn’t feel like I could use it. As for why I didn’t go with a fantasy theme… even my fantasy is a little dark, so staying with the macabre side of it all ties all of the genres I write in together.
