MB Austin

MB Austin, a mild-mannered civil servant by day, spends her discretionary time playing with imaginary friends on the computer and real ones in the dojo. She also enjoys cooking, eating, reading, dancing, and laughing as much as possible.

MB's Maji Rios novels, Strictly Need to Know (2017), Running Off Radar (2018), and Double Down (2019), are inspired by real people, in and out of uniform, who work to make their communities and the world safer for all. And by the people who feed them.

MB lives with her fabulous wife in Seattle, an excellent town for coffee-fueled writers who don't need too much sun. Learn more at www.mbaustin.me
