I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, although it took me awhile to learn about pen and paper. I enjoyed making up and telling stories long before I learned that you could write them down to read again later. I remember my mother would often ask me, "Are you telling a story?" This was probably her euphemism for telling a fib, but I wonder now if I was spinning tales even as a preschooler, trying out my little fiction-writer wings.
After a long career as a science professor and government scientist, launched by my love for science fiction, I am grateful to finally be able to devote myself to full-time writing. I live in Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington DC, in a hundred-year-old farmhouse with my husband and our cat Cricket. Our kids, both science whizzes, are in San Francisco doing smart, technical things even I don't fully understand.
I write both fiction and non-fiction and have published a few short stories. Some of them are sci-fi, others are more what you might call mystical fantasy. I'm working on my second novel, a piece of historical fiction, and have a non-fiction book, "Spiritual Lessons from the New Science," that is looking for a publisher with the help of my agent, Loretta Barrett. I also publish a science blog, Complexity Simplified, and spend whatever time I have left over from all of this teaching yoga classes, working in my garden and running.
