About the Author:

Brandice Wilson pretends to be a free-spirited rocker chick, completely immersed within the Hollywood lifestyle. Between obligatory Starbucks rendezvous and Nine Inch Nails and Raconteurs concerts, she reads extensively, writes not too prolifically, and patronizes art venues of all shapes, sizes, and forms. A fervent libertarian who is female but not that female, Brandice is ambitious, highly idiosyncratic, opinionated, and sarcastic, and she keeps at least one phalange in every cookie jar. However, in the realistic world, she spends most of her time eyeball-deep in pre-medical studies, well within her third year at USC.
