Brief Author Bio:

I enjoy makeouts, high fives, and challenging games of Tetris. No, seriously. I majored in creative writing with a background in marine and microbiology. After school, I wrote technical manuals for a major bioprocessing corporation for over a year until my contract ended, and now, I write professionally and implement new corporate language for a nationally known insurance company. I am a New Englander at heart, but I recently moved to the Midwest to live with my now-husband and our two cats, Luciren and Boomer—named for the fat puking zombies in L4D, not the Cylon in BSG.

I enjoy a multitude of varied activities. I am an extraordinarily avid reader, follow politics with much enthusiasm, enjoy sarcasm and sci-fi television shows, cook with great zeal (and am self-publishing a cookbook later this year), SCUBA dive, sail, pretend to be a ninja, knit, garden, take and develop pictures, and generally feed my intense curiosity about the world around me.
