Who are you? My name is JC Cassels, I'm a wife, a mom, a writer, and an aspiring space pirate.What genre/s do you write in? Science Fiction, with or without romance. I've also dabbled in historical romance and Southern Humor.
Why do you write?It's a surreal addiction. I keep hitting these so-called writer's groups, but even though you stand up and say "Hi, I'm JC and I'm a writer. I've been writing for thirty years," and the other writers, in their little folding chairs then all say "Hi, JC," nobody seems to have an answer on how to kick the habit. So I try to stay away from it until I get the shakes and go through withdrawals and I just have to do it. It's a vicious cycle. I'm considering electo-shock therapy... self-induced, of course. I think there's equipment for that in the Haunted Hospital where I write. Only problem is there's no electricity.
Planner or Pantser? A bit of both. I have a basic idea of where I'm going but I'm not always sure how to get there. The occasional breadcrumbs are helpful.

Personal Bio: JC Cassels, a native of Tampa, Florida, traces her lifelong fascination with SF/Adventure to watching Star Trek on a tiny black and white portable television aboard the family boat as a child. The Space Opera trend that followed the release of Star Wars fed an obsessive need for swashbuckling adventure set in deep space. Today, JC feeds that need by writing her own adventures, heavily inspired by 1960's television shows like Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, and Wild Wild West and fueled by Firefly reruns.
When not writing in her haunted hospital, JC lives with her husband, three children, five dogs, twenty chickens and a horse in a century-old house in a tiny rural community, and enjoys spending her free time sewing, camping, and heckling theoretical physicists on the Science Channel.
