Jess Haines (edit name/settings)

So, who is this Jess Haines chick anyway?

Oh, you know, just the typical internet-trolling writerly weirdo.

I’m a quiet one. You’ve got to watch out for me. Behind this innocent façade lurks a dirty, devious mind.

Really—I’m just this gal, you know? In person, I’m usually quiet and fairly shy with strangers.With friends, I change gears – you’ll get a lot of obscure Hitchhiker’s Guide and Holy Grail jokes instead of awkward silence. The Sunday Night Movie Madness crowd gets together every weekend to watch movies. If they’re really special movies, we MST them.

Let's see, what else... I'm a workaholic who loves coffee and chocolate and can't survive without books. I'm originally from New York, but I'm currently living in Los Angeles because it is suitably weird enough for the time being. I enjoy karaoke and bad movies, and have a menagerie of animals to keep me company when I'm not writing. (Seriously, when I'm an old fart, I'll be known as the crazy bird/cat/fish/snake/lizard lady.)

As for my background, I've worked office jobs from the bottom to the top of the corporate food chain. I've spent far too much time in the field of law. Currently my day job involves technical writing. That pays the bills, while writing fiction keeps me (relatively) sane. I'm proud to call myself a gamer geek, and probably would have wormed myself into that industry eventually if I hadn't turned myself into a Real Life™
