Kristen

Greetings!

I am an INFP or an INFJ, depending on the day. I love to sleep but am not very good at it. I'm a history buff, particularly obsessed, of late, with genealogy. I've also seen more movies than a healthy person should admit, a skewed percentage of which are Japanese and Korean horror films and great horror classics of the 1970s. My favorite foods are: albacore sushi, nopales gorditas, pasta of all shapes and sizes, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, olives, mustard, souped up Minute Rice, sweet potatoes, brown rice, tofu, turkey, cranberries, fresh-picked MacIntosh apples, cold cereal, Cream of Wheat, and margaritas. Preferably all together in the same meal.

I have a personal blog called My Back Pages , which is 6 years old, and therefore an internet relic. I also maintain The Post Pub , which is a blog that highlights published authors who blog, and runs excerpts and interviews with them. Please stop on by -- I'm giving away a $20 Powells.com gift certificate -- contest deadline, November 1, 2007. Details on the site.

I'm a web content consultant for authors and small businesses. This means I help people communicate with their readers and customers via blogs and other social media.

In a prior life, B.L.A. (Before L.A.), I was a producer and video editor for a boutique ad agency in Connecticut. Now I work for myself, which is great, except sometimes I forget to leave the house for days and my skin develops an unhealthy, Poe-like pallor. But I'm working on that.
