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 Texas and Europe along the way, which made her 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 those dreams come true. She has two children’s books traditionally published under her maiden name. She now lives on a beach outside of Athens, Greece with her husband, three children, and a huge Cane Corso, freaks out regularly, still daydreams way too much, and now truly doesn’t give AF. She is addicted to reading, classic films, cafes on the beach, Greek islands, Instagram, Pearl Jam and U2, her husband’s homemade red wine, dark chocolate, and reallllllly good coffee. Writing has always kept her somewhat sane, extremely happy, and a productive member of society.

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.
