Queenie Tirone

A Corny Writer Girl Wandering The DreamWebs

About Me


Queenie May Tirone is her birth name. Honestly. And no, her mother was not a hippie, though she wishes that were true. She feels ripped off that she doesn't live in a castle.
Her goals in life consist of disturbing the hell out of family, friends and innocent bystanders, becoming an elder god, and sleeping with Angelina Jolie. In all honesty, she will probably only accomplish the first one. Other pastimes include trying to be a spoken word artist, talking to the dead, and a disturbing obsession with corn.
Queenie is a professional student/poet/writer and helps as assistant editor of a small press called Burning Effigy. She likes books a lot. They're going steady for life.
Queenie also likes to talk in the third person.
Look for her short story A Bird in the Hand in AGES OF WONDER, coming from DAW Books in 2008.

My Interests

Books, Music, Art, Swords, Magick, Spirit, CORN, Making Love, Being Myself (whatever that happens to be), Learning new things, Singing, Horror, Fantasy

You Should Be a Film Writer
You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen! What Type of Writer Should You Be?
