BIOGRAPHY

Although I’ve written stories for as long as I can remember, I’m also passionate about mathematics and science, especially anthropology and astronomy. When I’m not hiking or swimming, I can often be found with my nose buried in Scientific American or the latest research paper on Neandertals. Every Thursday you’ll find me in my French lit class, squabbling with fellow students over everything from the meaning of a poem to that of the universe. And recently, I seem to have become a permanent member of a quirky group of math artists.
What I like best in this world, though, is curling up in the farthest corner of a café and writing stories. So after many years as a college math professor and textbook author, sharing my love of mathematics with my students and helping them pursue their dreams, I decided to be brave and follow my own dream. I now write fiction full-time.
