She hears the heels of the dripping ghosts that ride the rough roof-beam

I have never been good at writing bios. My very earliest ones were dreadful. I don't think I stopped using the line about addiction to folklore and dead languages until 2010. Eventually I weeded out the awkward bits; I found a formula that worked and I stuck with it. Aqueduct Press did not want a formulaic bio from me. On being asked to provide a "chatty bio," I froze and wrote absolutely nothing usable until four in the morning a few nights ago, at the end of a lengthy e-mail chain, when my brain decided it was too tired to care.

Sonya Taaffe never knows what to say about herself when asked for a bio.

Additionally, Ghost Signs is now listed under Forthcoming Publications.

This is good writing news.

I didn't know the archery fact. Excellent. And I highly approve of your last three sentences.

And nice to see your book in Forthcoming Publications!

I started when I was in seventh grade. I won some medals for my age and gender. Mostly it made me very happy.

And I highly approve of your last three sentences.

Thank you!

And nice to see your book in Forthcoming Publications!

That makes me happy, too.
