Skylaire Alfvegren has worked on cars for the Mexican mafia and roped cattle on the border of Area 51. Having witnessed her first UFO alongside Air Force personnel as a child, she began her writing career at seventeen with "File o' the Damned," a column of Fortean investigation for Fizz Magazine. <br /><br />Not yet of legal drinking age, she was hired as a consultant for Strange Universe, the Fox Network's nationally-syndicated "paranormal news program," wrote regularly for the L.A. Weekly and built a laboratory to grow amanita muscaria. <br /><br />Translated into nine languages and plastered helter skelter online, her <br />gonzo reportage has appeared in countless magazines, books and journals. <br />Descended from the Dark Elves of old Scandanavia, she is currently <br />applying her vast knowledge of California — the esoteric, the dark, and <br />the weird — to the small screen; and recently founded the League Of <br />Western Fortean Intermediatists (L.O.W.F.I.).
