She was Palahniuk's inspiration - she pioneered the style of minimalism that he's made popular. She's only ever written short stories, and they're hard to come by - you're most likely to find .txt files floating around the net with some of her works, unless you feel like digging up one of her collections of short stories from ebay or amazon.com, if any are actually in print at the present moment.
So how'd you come to this community? I think i know most of the other ponces, or I know someone who knows them. But you are minty fresh and new, so where'd you hear about us?
