title: Strange New Words: Tales of Heroism, Hi-Jinks, and Horror
author:  Ari Marmell 
description: Ari Marmell would love to tell you all about the various esoteric jobs he held and the wacky adventures he had on the way to becoming an author, since thats what other authors seem to do in these sections. Unfortunately, he doesnt actually have any, as the most exciting thing about his professional life, besides his novel writing, is the work hes done for Dungeons &amp; Dragons and other role-playing games. He currently has novels published with Spectra (an imprint of Random House), Pyr Books, and Wizards of the Coast, as well as a forthcoming series with Titan. Ari currently lives in an apartment thats almost as cluttered as his subconscious, which he shares (the apartment, not the subconscious, though sometimes it seems like it) with Georgehis wifeand a cat who really, really thinks its dinner time. You can find Ari online at http://www.mouseferatu.com and on Twitter @mouseferatu.
