Loretta Sylvestre lives in the rainy Northwest, where she harvests stories as they push up from the leaf mold in the dark of night. Her faithful cat, Badronymus, stands guard. She holds a BA from The Evergreen State College, but despite that she reads genre fiction and leaves books in her path like a trail of crumbs. She writes because she can’t stop. Her stories have appeared in print and on the web in SN Review, The Battered Suitcase, Tales from the Moonlit Path, and A Fly in Amber, among other publications. She also works as an editor, and she blogs (sometimes) at Worlds Well Written
