WOW!) the author has tried out professions ranging from stand-up comedian, mystery shopper, tape editor, dishwasher, radio DJ, and research librarian. Her latest book adventure is the soft sci fi tale Transference. Remarkably, no children are featured.

Gomez lives with her partner in Atlanta heading a successful conservation firm and happily existing in a non-child-centric universe.

You consider a Happy Meal to be any meal that includes a dry martini.
