I have had many different professions – mostly to do with science. I was a chemist for many years until I realized that I find chemistry really boring.
Mostly, I am a former molecular biologist with a background in prostate cancer. In 2009 I gave all that up for the glamorous life of sitting at my kitchen table, writing. I still follow scientific research closely. Quantum physics is my favorite because theoretical physicists are crazy-go-nuts.
Brian and I are no longer cool enough to live in downtown Seattle. We live 20 minutes north in the bustling metropolis of "Not-quite-Seattle" – but they do let us visit on the weekends so that's good.
We have two children. They are, apparently, the center of the Universe.
We have a dog named Thor Michaelson. He's favorite word is "squirrel".
