Susan M. Gaines

Susan M. Gaines obtained degrees in chemistry and oceanography before jumping ship to pursue a career as a writer. Her novel CARBON DREAMS was an early contribution to the genres now variously known as cli-fi, eco-fiction, and lab-lit or science in fiction. Her novel ACCIDENTALS takes on both environmental and political themes, and her non-fiction book "ECHOES OF LIFE" combines literary prose and narrative in a scientific account of discoveries in the earth sciences. Raised in California, Gaines has spent much of her adult life abroad, most recently in Uruguay, where ACCIDENTALS is set, and in Germany, where she is a founding director of the Fiction Meets Science program at the University of Bremen.
