Let's see ... I was born in Salinas, California in 1963, eight days after the assassination of John F. Kennedy; discovered that I wanted to be a writer and an artist at the tender age of ten; discovered the original Captain Marvel (who was the inspiration for many manga characters) a year later, and started writing my own Marvel Family stuff soon after. Discovered manga and anime in the late 1980s, thanks to Macross and Voltron, and remain a fan of mecha.

Writing wise, like James Patterson and Mercedes Lackey, I tend to work on several stories at once, and yes, I can keep the events of each separate from the others.

After rediscovering Gundam Wing and Rurouni Kenshin (two animes I hadn't seen since they first aired on Toonami) last month, I felt they would be good series to broaden my writing palette on, instead of being "stuck" in a rut on one subject.

My future series will include:

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Heroes of the Future, which kicks off with an expanded "novelization" of Episode Zero: Preventer Five (which takes place on Relena's 17th birthday). The second, Archangel, has new Preventer members (mostly OCs, and one very surprising regular cast member), and the boys trying to rewrite the Zero system. The third, The Hand of Sorrow, is a little darker than the others (psychologically, not blood/guts/gore), but it has some humor to it, too.

Universe-S: The Director's Cut, though self-explanatory, these are expanded rewrites of my old Yahoo fics.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: A New Generation involves the children of the original AC Gundam pilots, and ties into Heroes of the Future.

Rurouni Kenshin: Tales of the Wanderer, most of which take place between the ending of Trust and Betrayal and Chapter One of the manga.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Band on the Run, where the regular AC Relena receives a head injury from an accident, and dreams she's an orphan named Cecile who becomes a Gundam pilot herself.

If anyone's interested, I've started a Gundam Wing fan page on Facebook. You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gundam-Wing-The-Pilots/214710118594919

I'm also taking commissions for Gundam Wing, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha and Fawcett fan art. $10 for an 8 x 10, and $20 for an 11 x 14, and I take PayPal. Please drop me a note of e-mail me at finnegancynthia@rocketmail.com and let me know whacha want, and I'll try to do my best for you.

Currently listening to Walking Down Madison by the late Kirsty MacColl.
