Shiromi Arserio is a self-proclaimed geek. While other girls her age in London were listening to Take That and watching Grange Hill, Shiromi was busy doing her first major writing effort.... a spec script for SeaQuest DSV. Naturally it didn't get picked up, but hey, the show got cancelled anyway, so no loss there.
After a few more efforts in the fan fiction department, while surviving on a healthy diet of Babylon 5 and X-Files, Shiromi found love and a whole new life on another continent. She married a G.I. and traveled the U.S. Living it up where the air is thin, and exploring the depths of the Pacific Ocean, before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. She pursued her dreams of being a performer, starring as Jocasta in Jocasta! Jocasta! as well as we playing five different roles in an all-female production of The Comedy of Errors.
She also got to fulfill a geek fantasy by appearing in not one, not two, but three episodes of Lost. Unfortunately, it was season 3 which is, as everyone already knows, when it went downhill.
Shiromi is still pursuing acting in all its forms, as well as writing. Her work can be found in various magazines such as Women's Adventure Magazine and Renaissance Magazine. However, her big love remains SciFi, and thus she started Inter-Galaxy Portal - a science fiction news and reviews website.
You may even have seen one or two of her e-books, such as the Snow White re-telling (written long before all the other re-tellings came out) The Huntsman's Tale, and her science fiction short story Becca. Always one to bite off more than she can chew, Shiromi's latest effort is to turn the 1.8 million word Sanskrit epic The Mahabharata into a slightly shorter science fiction web serial called Shatterer of Worlds.
You can catch up with Shiromi via her website (http://www.shiromi.net), or through her Twitter or Facebook account.
