From Cherie Priest's About Me page on her website, http://www.cheriepriest.com/
"I was born in Tampa, Florida, down the street from the stadium in 1975 — the same year that gave us Saturday Night Live and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so I consider myself in good company. I have a B.A. in English from Southern Adventist University, here noted because it embarrasses them to share a paragraph with Tim Curry in drag; and I also have an M.A. in Rhetoric (composition/critical theory) from the University of Tennessee, which couldn’t care less.
In addition to novels, I write for magazines and websites, composing everything from product copy for power tools to interviews and movie reviews. You can find a mostly proper bibliography over here.
For my day job, I serve as an associate editor with Subterranean Press.
In March of 2006 I married my long-time significant other, Aric; and together with our fat black cat named Spain (as in, “I claim this land for–”), we moved to Seattle shortly after the wedding. Seattle is very different from the southeast. I’m still getting accustomed to it.
Recently I bought a small blue fish and named her “Merrimack.” We call her “Ginny” for short, but people in the Pacific Northwest tend not to get that joke."
