Delia has been a nerd longer than she has known the meaning of the word. Texas born and raised, she's a writer, an off-key singer, and journal enthusiast. When she’s not lamenting the lack of Ravenclaw representation in the Wizarding World, Delia enjoys nerding out over Jane Austen, Game of Thrones/ASoIaF, Lord of the Rings, all things Disney, and Doctor Who. You can nerd out with her on Twitter @DeliaDumbledore.
