Star Wars runs deep in her family as her parents kept her out of school in third grade to see The Empire Strikes Back the day it was released in theatres, and she and her two siblings often have conversations using only Star Wars quotes. She is a proud of being a middle-aged woman with Star Wars bedding and a Death Star disco ball in her bedroom. Sheila also blogs for Diary of a Sith Chick, as Squire of the Knights of Ren, and is currently working on Mary Sue fiction as well as an academic research paper on Kylo Ren — her dream is to be part of the Blackguard.
