I think I've seen that pic somewhere, and its Ava Cowan.

She's been on the buff side for a while.  I used to see still(and video) of her armwrestling scene from her Suddenly Suzan days all over the place.

I saw your bio and I wanted to ask about your experience at Berklee.  I have a cousin who fancies himself a guitar player who's getting an audition, and seems to be pretty excited about going. And are they looking for anything special in the audition…

I've always been impressed by your work.  I can't wait for the comic.

Women didn't know it, but we've been obsolete for years.  We've been hanging around based on reputation alone. Kind of like Randy Johnson or Kerry Wood.

Buff or skinny aside, I had no idea they were making a live action GI Joe. Tells you how out of the loop I've been.

29 years old, watching my youth slip between my fingers. I have a BS in bs(history).  I moved back to my home state of Tennessee and started my own business about 4 years ago.  I'm single and getting desperate I think.
I love music, playing it and listening to it, working on old cars.. I used to love to travel, but I don't have the time anymore, and of course I enjoy writing.

Lots of comedy is in poor taste.  Not saying its right to make light of an evil organization like the nazis, but part of what's funny about that clip is how wrong it is in the first place.

One of my all time faves.

I'd be all for it if it adds something to the character or to the story.  It all depends on how real or how fanciful you want your world to be.  If a story starts out and the world is light, airy and obviously a fantasy realm, then all of the sudden the heroine starts snorting a line of cocaine, you might have a problem there.

I have a character named Moria Kelly who started out as a villain.  Lisa Sanchez was my first super strong character, and I realized early on that she had to have an enemy to fight, so I came up with Moira.  She was a chemistry professor and strength athlete who used to do well in powerlifting shows until she found that some of the other competitors were using an illegal synthetic steroid.  She fell into using it, and after a while she used her knowledge of chemistry to make the drug even better.  She spent 12 years of her life working on the drug and on her body.  She of course became immensely strong, but it had consequences.

This type of story is not for everybody, but its worked pretty well for me.  A character with a little dirt under their nails gives you all sorts of things to write about to keep the stories fresh and new.  I also have a character who is a borderline alcoholic.  To me, in the world that my characters live in, it makes sense.

I would love to read a story where a main character is a good person who uses her strength and skills for the greater good, but she has a dirty secret.  She uses 'roids or whatever to get the strength to do the things she does.  There are all sorts of possible angles there.
