The name Katarina comes from the League of Legends hero. I can&#8217;t really say the League hero inspired my saloon girl, because they&#8217;re not really alike in any way.

Cain&#8217;s Saloon is an intentional reference to the Biblical figure of Cain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3.

She sometimes procrastinates by hiding in online games like <em>Star Wars; The Old Republic <\/em>or <em>League of Legends. <\/em>She can&#8217;t handle coffee unless there&#8217;s enough cream and sugar to make it a milkshake, but try and sweeten her tea and she will never forgive you. She moonlights as a futon for four lazy cats, loves tabletop role-play games, and can spend hours penciling naughty, sexy illustrations in her secret notebooks.<\/p>\n<p>Brantwijn has two romance series currently in-progress with Champagne Books.\u00a0 She&#8217;s also had short stories published in several small press anthologies.
