I'm Traci Loudin, a storyteller who loves science fiction and fantasy, and author of The Last of the Ageless, a post-apocalyptic adventure set more than three centuries in the future. I like exploring geeky topics and scientific findings on my blog. I've always enjoyed reading about fantastic worlds and writing intriguing characters. As a young West Virginian, I looked forward to library trips with my mother and the evenings when my father read H.G. Wells to me.   Though I'm a totally honest and completely law-abiding Capricorn, I like to imagine outrageous answers when people ask me innocuous questions like "Where are you from?" and "Where did you go to school?"    So ask me something fun on social media sometime — I love answering messages from readers.
