Twenty-First-Century Paranormal Reads
FanG-tastic Fiction Twenty-First-Century Paranormal Reads Patricia O’Brien Mathews AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Chicago 2011 www.alastore.ala.org After growing up as the high school principal’s daughter in a small Ohio town (an adolescent’s nightmare), Patricia Mathews inexplicably pursued a career in public education, working as a teacher, program coordinator, and curriculum and assessment designer. She currently has the best job of her life—working behind the reference desk at her local branch library. Before getting caught up in para- normal fiction, her favorite readings were narrative nonfiction and character- driven fiction. Now, however, she can’t resist the heroes and heroines of urban fantasy. She lives in northeastern Ohio with her two cats, and although she watches them carefully, she has never caught them in the act of shape-shifting. © 2011 by Patricia O’Brien Mathews.
