A writer, a scribbler, a daydreamer, a lip-biting romantic, an optimist with a twist and a twisted imagination.
And I don’t want to be cured of any of those. Ever.
CAT PORTER was born and raised in New York City, but also spent a few years in Europe and Texas along the way, which made her just as wanderlusty as her parents. As an introverted, only child, she had very big, but very secret dreams for herself. She graduated from Vassar College, was a struggling actress, an art gallery girl, special events planner, freelance writer, restaurant hostess and had all sorts of other crazy jobs all hours of the day and night to help make her dreams come true. She has two children’s books traditionally published under her maiden name. She now lives on a beach just outside of Athens, Greece with her husband and three children, and freaks out regularly and still daydreams way too much, and doesn’t give as much of AF. She is addicted to the History Channel, her iPhone, her husband’s homemade red wine, coffee, and a bunch of other stuff she’d rather not discuss. Writing keeps her somewhat sane, extremely happy, and a productive member of society. At least on the outside.

Have you thought of writing a story that uses traditional fairy lore? The reason I ask is because fairy folklore is such a little understood mythology. Few people know of the fairy connection to demons, fallen angels, or ghosts. Fewer people, still, know that King Arthur, his knights and Merlin were originally British Gods.
There is also a lot of sexual symbolism in fairy mythos with Fae stealing mortals for lovers or spouses. Plus, in Scottish lore, Faeries were accused of trying to steal their mortal lover’s soul.
