About Me

Winner of the Scribe Award for Best Novel, I fell in love with writing when I was six, and haven't stopped since. My published titles include BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: PORTAL THROUGH TIME (for which I won the Scribe Award) and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: NIGHT TERRORS. I've also written the strategy guides for STAR WARS: GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS: THE CLONE CAMPAIGNS, STAR WARS: OBI WAN, and SUMMONER 2. I've written manuals for STAR WARS: BATTLE FOR NABOO and STAR WARS: GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS. I'm an avid traveler and explorer, and have a deep love for nature. My master's degree is in folklore and mythology, and I've extensively studied the beliefs of a wide range of cultures, from Sumerian and Egyptian, to Mayan, Aztec, Norse and Celtic. I'm also fascinated by the earth sciences, particularly paleontology, paleoclimatology, volcanology and seismology. Please visit my website at http://www.alicehenderson.com
