Just Who is This Madame Momerath?

Name: Amy

Birthday:January 16, 1974

Handle: Madame Momerath-Wait a minute, what the heck is a momerath??

Okay, you got me. My handle comes from Lewis Carroll's poem "The Jabberwocky". (hint: from the book "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass") You know the one, right? 'Twas brillig and the slithytoves... Yeah, that's the one. I've just about got it memorized, it's one of my all-time favorites.

Family: I'm a mother of two beautiful children. My son is sixteen and my daughter is thirteen. I am also owned (yes, owned) by a spoiled orange tabby cat, a slightly stupid black cat, a bratty grey tabby cat, and one very fluffy Maine Coon cat . My parents are divorced and I am married to my childhood sweetheart.

Location: I live in the beautiful state of Tennessee. Where, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change!

Hobbies: Other than the obvious fondness for writing, I also adore drawing (don't forget to check out my DeviantArt gallery by clicking on the link in my bio block!), painting, making steampunk props/guns/jewelry/etc., making dolls, frequenting flea markets and junk stores, reading (about a book a week, if I'm lucky), and much more.

Likes: Anything fantasy or gothic, spending time with my family, making my kids laugh, chocolate (mmm...Lindt chocolate ), vintage/custom hot rods with sweet paint jobs, Jem and the Holograms (I'm forever a Jem girl!!), cats, road trips, curling up in bed with a really good book, curling up with my sweet husband, creating art, road trips, British comedies, rambling on aimlessly....

Dislikes: People who refuse to use spellcheck, scorpions, people who refuse to use their turn signals, having to get up early in the morning, hate crimes, boiled cabbage, wasps, that ring around the bath tub, frustration, the unchecked growth of suburbia, bigotry, bullies, doing dishes/laundry, rambling on aimlessly...

Summary: I've been writing since I was a child and have been told I have a creative imagination. Of course, the teacher who told me that probably didn't know what else to say! (I'd written a strange little story about a wolf eating a house when I was in third grade...) My sense of humor is on the weird side and I wouldn't have it any other way . I can quote Monty Python and Fawlty Towers at the drop of a hat. Useless facts and trivia fascinate me. I am madly in love with Severus Snape and I don't care that he's not real. I adore mythology, history, and fairy tales. If you want to know any more about me, feel free to email me or peruse my blog!
