By day, Brandie Tarvin works as a Database Administrator and writes technical articles for SQLServerCentral.com. By night, she sails pirate-populated waters, fights evil robots in disguise, and plays superhero (or villain, depending on her mood). She has written a dozen short stories, including "Two for the Price of One" in the Transformers: Legends anthology and "The Tales We'll Tell Tomorrow" for Shadowrun Street Legends. She freelance writes for Catalyst Game Labs and is featured in several of Stephen D. Sullivan's and Jean Rabe's Blue Kingdoms anthologies.

Brandie is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers (IAMTW), and a graduate of Viable Paradise, which she calls "the best little writers workshop ever!" She blogs at BrandieTarvin.livejournal.com.
