Jessadriel Darkmountain has been my pen-name, SCA name, and general use-name since 1975, and all of my work is copyrighted under that name. Some of it has been published elsewhere; some of it is intended for publication; some of it won't be published at all. None of it may be copied or used in any way without my express permission.

I'm a Leo, and I turned 48 this past birthday. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my daughter and her cat, and currently make my living building quilting robots, caring for three wonderful children, and doing occasional music gigs. I've been active in the SCA and the Dark Horde since 1977, and have been a Wiccan High Priestess since Yule 1980.

I play lots of instruments, including guitar, violin, piano, Celtic harp and pennywhistle. A great many of my poems are actually songs, and I will soon be recording them; I hope to have the CD and songbook ready to market by next Summer. I performed the past four years at RingCon, Medieval Faire, and the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire and will be at those events again in 2005.

A book of my poetry, "To Avalon", is pending publication, and I am in the middle of writing a fantasy-adventure novel based on The Morn Sigil Saga, which continues to grow in the telling. One of my hobbies is the study of the Elvish languages of J.R.R. Tolkien; you can see and hear one of my Elvish songs here. You can contact me at jessadrieldarkmountain@castlebeware.com.

Blessed be!
