About the Author:
The author began online gaming in the early days, when her four teenage sons would come home from school and disappear for hours. Curious about what they were doing while sequestered in their bedrooms, she started watching them play their online games— and then she began playing with them. She was fascinated by the graphics and the storylines. Many years later, she has shifted her focus to writing, though she still loves the thrill of gaming—despite the dangers of entrapment. These days, it's easier to step away and write about the experience, rather than be trapped in a dungeon raid or pulled into an all-nighter.
