M. E. Garber grew up reading about hobbits, space-travel, and dragons, staring at wide-open skies over a lake that sounds like "eerie," so it's no wonder that she now enjoys writing strange things. She used to live near the home of Duck Tape, then near the home of Nylabone. Now she lives near the home of Gatorade with her husband and their sweet-but-hyperactive dog. She's a graduate of the Viable Paradise Writers' Workshop. When not writing, she can be found fretting over the state of her garden plants, cooking (pindo palm fruit jelly, anyone?), or hoping to see snakes and other wildlife.
