Person
Terra is a scientist by day who lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and two orange cats. From a young age, she was a fan of speculative fiction, especially science fiction and fantasy. She has been writing fiction for as long as she can remember and has always told her partner of many years that if she wasn't a scientist, she would be an author. Her writing took a back seat during grad school, but it wasn't long before she was writing again. To date, she has self-published two novellas in a 90s-nostalgia polyamory comedy series and has short stories appearing in Once Upon a Future Time Vol. 3 and Aether Beyond the Binary, as well as two additional upcoming anthologies. When not doing science or writing, you can find Terra indulging her yarn addiction by knitting or learning how to solve increasingly complex puzzle cubes to keep up with her middle schooler.
