Why she might be annoying:

    Cross-overs are a common theme in her fantasy novels.
    She was a high-school teacher, a model, a waitress, a technical editor, an all-night liquor store clerk, and a karate instructor before becoming an author.
    Her novels are hard to pigeon hole into any category since they are a mix of history with fantasy.
    She has written books for the 'Star Wars' series and 'Star Trek' series.
    She admits, she's not good giving books, even hers, titles.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her novels were best sellers.
    She attended UC Riverside.
    Her interests are dancing, painting, historical and fantasy costuming, and carpentry.
    She has a black-belt in Shotokan Karate.
    She said: 'I always wanted to be a writer but everyone kept telling me it was impossible to break into the field or make money. I've proven them wrong on both counts.'
