![]() ![]() ![]() I already answer to Maddy, and Barone is a play on my rank of baroness in the SCA and my Italian heritage. When I decided I needed a pen name, Maddy Barone was an easy choice. No, actually, I’m known as “Maddy” since Maria Maddalena is quite a mouthful. See? I have to do something with that History degree! In the SCA I am known as Maria Maddalena da Monreale. I am a member of the SCA, a non-profit educational organization that studies and re-creates the renaissance and middle ages. That’s probably why I work in the financial department at Medicare. I graduated from Moorhead State University with a BA in history. ![]() ![]() After 8 years in the Guard and working crappy part time jobs, I went back to college. I fooled a couple years away in college before joining the National Guard. I never did very well in school, not because I was stupid, but because I was usually off in my own world, one populated by space pirates and warrior princesses. The only reason I survived childhood was because I had entire worlds to escape into through the school library. We moved around a bit while I was growing up and I was painfully shy, so I didn’t have a lot of friends. Photo by Brandi Spray Photography Hmmm… What to say about myself? I’m not a terribly exciting person. I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA at the tail end of the baby boom. ![]()
