T.M. Baumgartner

T. M. Baumgartner is a speculative fiction writer who has difficulty following directions. This has produced occasional culinary triumphs, but once necessitated lopping off six inches of pressboard when assembling a cabinet. At various times she has been a veterinarian, Unix system administrator, software developer, and after-hours book-shelver in a medical library.

Theresa currently lives in Northern California in a house with too many animals. She knits hats for garden gnomes and runs with scissors only when absolutely necessary.

She also writes cozy mysteries (including the Penelope Standing Mysteries) under the pen name Tess Baytree.
