Jean Johnson currently lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest, has played in the SCA for nearly 20 years, sings a lot, and is currently teaching herself to play the violin.

She also hopes to live in a castle some day...but only if it has decent plumbing, central heating, and internet access.
