Though the official fire warning is no longer active, I’ve heard rumors that the National Weather Service intends to issue a Metaphorical Fire Warning effective until somewhere around 9:45 tomorrow night, when the first Burning Swamp Reading Series Reading of Two Aught One Three will have ended and left the city in embers of red-hot glowing awesome. To give you a better idea of what I’m talking about, here’s the profile for our third reader, the awesome writer and Nessie enthusiast Hannah Frank!
A Little About Hannah Frank
Hannah Frank is a senior Writing and Linguistics major with a minor in Art—which pretty

much means most of her time is spent in the studio painting or at home writing (Let’s be serious, it’s mostly in the studio). She enjoys writing fiction, and she participates in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) every November. She finished the 50,000 words in 2011 to become a “winner,” although, last year she was slacking and only did 24,000. (Okay, she wasn’t really slacking, but was rather painting.) Oil painting is one of her passions, and she would one day like to have an art gallery. After she graduates this spring, she hopes to become an awesome preschool teacher until she can support herself to become a full-time writer and painter, or until she wins the lottery—whichever comes first.
Hannah’s Answers to Our Swamp Survey:
1. What’s your favorite cryptozoology creature?
Ummm… Loch Ness Monster, of course! Nessie exists! (Of course, I have to say this because of my Scottish heritage.) Oh, and unicorns are cool too.
2. Do you believe in Swamp Primates?
No—although my mom claims she saw some weird swampy primate outside her window one night, but I’m betting that it was actually a creepy neighbor. Stuff happens.
3. What do you think we should do about all of the recent Swamp Primate attacks?
I think we should try to raise money for people who claim to have seen these Swamp Primates to get therapy. (Sorry mom!) Bake sales always seem to work—and I make a mean pumpkin pie.
