Carol Berg tells people that writing is “the hobby that ate my life.” She grew up in Texas in a family of teachers, musicians, and railroad men, taught math for a while, but worked as a software engineer for much longer. She has degrees in mathematics from Rice University and computer science from the University of Colorado. She lives, camps, hikes, and bikes with her husband in the Colorado Rockies. Her books have won the Prism Award, the Geffen Award, and multiple Colorado Book Awards. Her duology, Flesh and Spirit and Breath and Bone, was awarded the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. Visit Carol Berg at http://www.carolberg.com.
