from her website:
Shelly Mazzanoble’s short stories and essays have appeared in The Seattle Times, Carve, Whetstone, Skirt!, SomeOtherMagazine.com, and
Dragon.
In a fit of narcissism, she has appeared in her own work, casting herself as the lead in her play, Blue Malls, which was produced in Seattle’s Mae West Fest XIII. Due to the anxiety dreams still plaguing her, she did not star, support or even understudy in her play, The Chicken & the Egg, which was produced in Mae West Fest IV and later Manhattan Theatre Source’s Estrogenius Festival.
Her book, Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress published by Wizards of the Coast, was nominated for an Origins Award and won the 2008 ENnies Award for Best Regalia.
Originally from Upstate New York and a graduate of Ithaca College, she now lives in Seattle.
