Who is the Goth Huntress?

Welcome to my non-professional website. This is where you can read my fanfiction, look at my art, check out the hotness that is my Desert Island Five, my obsession with Vampire the Masquerade, and just hang out with the weirdness that is Jenn Moffatt aka Goth Huntress on many, many forums including LJ and MySpace.

I've wanted to be a writer since I read the book Harriet the Spy when I was a kid. I started keeping a journal back then in a spiral notebook in my desk drawer. Harriet was my hero. It was so great to be able to write whatever I wanted and exorcise my demons. The problem was when I got into trouble for it. The principal of the school I was in and I had a rousing battle over my constitutional rights. I remember telling her "if a fetus has constitutional rights, then I certainly have them as a twelve year old." She called my mother who said "well she's right isn't she?" Gotta love my mom. She defended me when I got into trouble for practicing witchcraft at the age of 13 too by pointing out "where do you think she got the books?"

I was constantly writing short stories and Star Trek fiction all through high school in Las Vegas, but never tried to publish anything. When I was almost finished with my English BA, I realized that I would end up frying hamburgers with that one, and switched to Journalism. I was frustrated with the English program since it was dedicated to teaching you how to read. I'd been reading since I was 3. It was writing that I wanted to learn to do. Journalism wasn't the best move for that either. It took me many years to work in my field, and many more years to remember how to write fiction. Just the facts ma'am writing stunted my creativity.

I became a Role Player in college, and would create complex characters and worlds for them to play in. I made my way through AD&D and on to Vampire the Masquerade over the years. VtM is where most of my playing is done now a days, even if the world is from some other genre, we convert to those rules for simplicity and because they basically rock.

Finally about a year ago it occurred to me that if I would just get off my ass and finish something maybe I could actually write a book. Since Nov 1 2005, I've put together 3.5 novels. Most are still in draft form, with one being pitched to agents in early 2007. I'm currently stalking agents to send my query to. If you know a good agent for Urban Fantasy, drop me a note!
