The hour of our meeting

[annathepiper]

Name: Angela Korra'ti, a.k.a. Anna the Piper

Age: Close enough to 50 to make rude gestures at it

Location: Same place as solarbird, given that I'm her wife <3

Other Sites I'm On: annathepiper on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Goodreads; +AngelaKorrati on Google+. My main author website is at angelahighland.com.

Describe yourself in five sentences or less: SDET by day at Big Fish Games, author and musician by night. I'm a hybrid author with a fantasy trilogy out via Carina Press, and the first two books of an urban fantasy series self-published. I'm also an amateur musician, very fond of Quebecois traditional music, and I play flutes, whistles, guitar, a tiny bit of bouzouki and mandolin, and a slowly increasing amount of fiddle (I'm taking lessons!).

Top 5 fandoms: Elfquest, The Dragonriders of Pern, and Star Wars, all of whom were fandoms for which I was active on MUSHes for years, and in the case of Pern, offline RP as well. Although I never RPed in the fandoms or wrote fanfic for them, my other two top ones would be the Tolkienverse and Star Trek.

I mostly post about: These days it's updates on my writing as well as periodic geeking out about taking fiddle lessons. I also semi-periodically post language geekery as I am doing extremely slow multi-lingual rereads of The Lord of the Rings as well as the first Harry Potter book.

My last three posts were about: Two about my ongoing work to migrate my LJ content over here, and one about a forthcoming surgery I'm having for my badly deviated septum (FUN!).

How about commenting?: I'm a more active commenter on social media, since my author presence is on Facebook and Twitter. But if I'm reading you on Dreamwidth, I WILL periodically try to answer your posts.

A GIF to describe how your day has been so far: This one seems appropriate. ;)

Close enough to 50 to make rude gestures at it

Hey! I'm close enough to 50 to punch it in the face! (and I have Really Good Scotch, and at the moment, no one to share it with in-house because, well...)

Watchoo doin' the 29th? I wanna celebrate.

[annathepiper]

On the 29th I shall be in the middle of recovering from the septum surgery. *^_^*;; And since I'll be on a course of Vicodin, no Scotch for me, I fear.

I'm game! You sound like a kindred soul. I also was in Dragon Riders of Pern Fandom up to my eyeballs for a long time and made some wonderful friends there!

You'll have to link me to your books! I am always looking for my next read!

[annathepiper]

Hiya and I see you've added me to your circles! :) Glad to make your acquaintance!

[annathepiper]

Oh, and also: my official author site is at angelahighland.com, with a backup site at angelahighland.wordpress.com that I put posts on in case of power outages--since I host my website on our house servers. And we're having a windstorm tonight, so it's a distinct possibility we may lose power. Joy. ;P

All of which I mention because two of my ebooks are on sale for 99 cents right now, so if you read in digital form, there's data about that here. :)

If you played Pern, we have likely already interacted at some point! I was the fandom baby for eons, and it's part of why everyone on tumblr being younger than me freaks me out so much.

I have a book deadline hitting me hard and so am trying to ignore DW until I'm done on the 13th (finished or perished) but I'll surely come back and add you. :>

[annathepiper]

Please feel free to do so when you're ready, and good luck on your deadline!

Were you ever on PernMUSH? I was F'hlan, bronze Tzornth's rider there, and also F'hlan's daughter Mehlani.

Offline, I was a member of Telgar Weyr (originally a Tenth Pass group, later Fifth Pass).
