JB is a speculative fiction writer who lives in a quiet, green town with her spouse (who is often forced to read her first drafts. He is learning to say no.) She would love to have a feline familiar if she wasn’t so terribly allergic to them.

Meanwhile, she is rooting for small dragons in spaceships. Someday. She can be found at www.jbmanipal.com or on Twitter @jbmanipal.
