About the Author

I was born on 9 May 1972 in Athens, Greece. I’m a Taurean and it shows (beware of the horns!), but I also have a very strong Gemini streak, which means I crave communication.

I’m married to a wonderful Englishman, for whom I uprooted myself from the land of democracy and have been coping with the transplant to Old Albion for some time now.

I’m a doting,  if somewhat disciplinarian, mother of an infant boy and a part-time but suitably wicked stepmother of a teenage girl.

I’m a linguist specialising in Romance languages and a qualified language teacher, primarily EFL. I am myself bilingual, in Greek and English, and enjoy translating as much as original writing. Almost as much as reading, even.

I’m very much interested in history, anthropology, theology, and psychology, all with a definite feminine – not feminist – bent. I’m not a feminist; I’m a womanist; which means I believe it takes more than having XX chromosomes to be a woman.

I’m a practising Eastern (Greek) Orthodox. The ignorance or dismissal displayed by the Western world towards a Christian sect much larger and much older than most ‘popular’ denominations is a pet peeve of mine, and I’m usually quite vocal in battling it. See, I don’t confuse tolerance with acceptance.

I have been practising yoga since the mid-80s and hope to teach sometime. Yoga was the gateway that took me into the world of complementary medicine, especially herbalism and reiki. I’m an accredited 3rd degree practitioner, 13th generation in the Usui lineage.

I love pen-and-paper roleplaying games, especially White Wolf’s Old World of Darkness. If you happen to be a fan, by all means leave a message and I’ll be back to you presently!
