Despite being located primarily in Northern California, Seanan manages to be seen all over North America, thus proving that she really has no concept of what it means to stay home. She got into filk music in her teens, and just never bothered to get out of it, although she continued cheerfully expanding her interests through the years, doing such silly things as "selling several novels" and "starting a comic strip." It is widely believed that she doesn't actually sleep, or that she is, in fact, an immigrant from a small planet near Betelgeuse.
As a singer and songwriter, Seanan takes inspiration in essentially everything she can find, from horror movies and comic books to folklore and that weird plant that's doing its damnedest to pull down the wall in her back garden. She spent 2008 working with Jeff Bohnhoff of Mystic Fig Studios to produce RED ROSES AND DEAD THINGS, her tribute to the mayhem and monsters that have made her the slightly unhinged girl that she is. The result was released in 2009, and you can order it here. Convenient, isn't it?
In her spare time, Seanan works as a call center supervisor, writes buckets of poetry, and drives her agent batty by providing a constant stream of new novels to deal with. Again, she doesn't sleep. She is, however, planning to eventually conquer the planet. Because it would be fun.
