Biography - Skylaire Alfvegren

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.

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.

Translated into four languages and plastered helter skelter online, her gonzo reportage has appeared in countless magazines, books and journals. Descended from the Dark Elves of old Scandanavia, she is currently applying her vast knowledge of California—the esoteric, the dark, and the weird—to the small screen, and recently founded the League Of Western Fortean Intermediatists (L.O.W.F.I.), as a network for explorations into the mysteries and peculiarities of the Southwest.
