Francesca Terzano grew up in the magical kingdom of the Inland Empire. She fell in love mythology at a young age because she would spend hours watching Sailor Moon and reading Harry Potter. During her time at Mt. San Antonio College she was president of the Creative Writing Club. Her poetry has been published in two online magazines: Carnival Literary Magazine and the East Jasmine Review. She has a blog theliteraryalchemyblog.wordpress.com where she writes about nerd culture and its use of mythology and folklore. Right now she is currently attending Graduate school at Cal Poly, and hoping to have her college experience come full circle and someday teach at Mt. Sac. She also loves cats.
