In 2003 West decided she was going back to college to finish her degree. Three years later she graduated from a small woman's college with a degree in Classics and a minor in British and American Lit. It wasn't until five years after graduating that she finished and submitted her first novel. The characters in that story have been on a wild rollercoaster ride for those five years.
West has always been an avid reader and, thanks to her Classics background, she discovered an admiration for Ovid and Hesiod. She also thinks Latin and Greek are awesomely fun. Yes, she is a geek. She loves manga and anime. Some of her favorites include Bleach, Death Note, Saiyuki, Vampire Knight, and Get Backers. Eventually she wants to learn to read and speak Japanese so she can read/watch all of these in their original forms.
West is a single mom. Her son, Spawn is the light of her life and he was diagnosed with Autism at the age of six. Luckily, he's on the higher end of the spectrum and currently a pre-teen handful. He has taught West a lot about how to see people and the world in general.
