Danielle Frink has a lifelong of gaming in all its guises. Her first video game console was an Atari 2600, and her first gaming injury was a blister on her thumb from playing too much Space Invaders. She has since expanded her gaming interests to both pencil-and-paper and live-action roleplaying, online gaming and a variety of board games. Her experiences as a "gamer grrrl" mesh well with her role as a single mother of a gaming pre-teen boy. She has a degree in journalism and over 20 years of experience with computers and game consoles.
