Bonnie Loshbaugh practices kung fu, writes speculative fiction, and can fillet a salmon in 60 seconds flat. Her first novel, SOBEL'S SKIN is a fantasy tale of a female shaman who can turn into bear, set in an alternate history Siberia. Novels in progress include I WENT DOWN (first draft available on Wattpad!), an urban fantasy noir set in a nightclub and inspired by the jazz standard Saint James Infirmary, and THE SAPIENCE CONVENTION, a scifi tale of corruption, drug smuggling, and fuzzy alien critters.

She currently lives in Seattle, where she misses snow in winter, but appreciates the proximity of coffee shops and a large university library.
