Lise MacTague is a hockey player, a librarian, and an author. Her parents had their priorities straight and introduced her to sci-fi at the age of three through reruns of Star Trek. Lise has been an overworked art student, a freelance artist, a Rennie, a slave to retail, a grad student, and a slinger of beer. She lives in Milwaukee with two very demanding cats, one who is curled up in her lap even now.
