Candace Kita

One time, I was posing on a car for a calendar shoot. I was doused with oil and literally slid off the car, bikini, heels and all!

The horror genre is my personal favorite. But then again, I was the kid who read coroner books for fun.

I love comics and have since I was a kid. That is what gave me the idea to create my own.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.
