Alyx J Shaw is an irritable rantaholic who enjoys writing, making medieval honey wine, smoking, tarantulas, and raising strange and toxic plants. She shares her seedy apartment with a cat, two tarantulas, three guinea pigs, and pet duck named Master Erestor. She’s pretty sure there is a husband in there somewhere as well, and expects she will find him buried under the laundry the next time she feels like doing a washing.

Alyx has worked for newspapers and news radio stations, and her novel ‘A Strange Place in Time’ will be available from Torquere Press in March of 2008 (click here for more info on that). Alyx has been a practicing Wiccan for ten years, and is one of the few people in Vancouver, British Columbia who actually enjoys the rain.
