Elena Gaillard

I live in NYC where life is weird and scary right now.
Orchid evangelist, yarn addict, book hoarder, cook with tiny kitchen, locavore, bird watcher, beer drinker, wine bibber, SFF reader, alt rock fan, graphic designer. I'm writing tons of fantasy and finishing very little of it. Hope to remedy that soon.
