Name: Alynda Brown.

Also Answers To: "SkeptoBabe", "Hey, you behind the bar with the cocktail shaker".

Occupation / Title: Mystery Investigator, Skeptic, Teacher, Trainer, Scary martial arts enthusiast, Runner, Wife, Mother.

Brief Summary: A human energy vortex with a wicked sense of fun (the best kind to have) and a laugh that has 'naughty' written all over it. Has an amazing and enviable ability to play many roles and excel in all of them. Even her own kids think she's cool, which is quite something.

World Records Held:
Best And Most Enthusiastic Maker Of Delicious, Quasi-Lethal Cocktails.
(Probably) The World's Coolest Mum.
Best Leather Outfit Seen In Qantas Executive Lounge.
Arranger Of Best Night Out In Sydney For Visiting British Magician (dinner at Centre Point revolving restaurant followed by Otello at the Opera House... beat that combination!)
Scariest Collection Of Martial Arts Weaponry In One Home.

Other Notable Achievements & Honours: Co-founder of Mystery Investigators. Handler and companion for SkeptoBear (pictured) at international conferences.

Best Party Trick: In collaboration with Peter Bowditch, Alynda presents a stunning demonstration of 'faith healing' gone wrong. Peter plays the Preacher Man and 'lays hands' on Alynda. Alynda plays the Patient, falls backwards and then... immediately springs back upright again. This involves some horrendously impressive gymnastic manoeuvre which only the super-fit could even think of, let alone perform, and it has to be seen to be believed. It's also very funny.

Special Powers: Have I mentioned the ability to dress head to toe in black leather and carry it off with style, confidence and flair? I have? Well, one can never mention it too often. 

Known Weaknesses: I don't know of any, and even if I did I wouldn't dare mention them here  because I'd be too scared to.

Catchphrase: "Okay, now try this one, it's not got quite so much booze in it but it's quite tasty...".
