C. L. Kagmi is an inveterate wanderer who splits her time between the American Midwest and West Coast. She likes any surprise that doesn’t end in grievous bodily injury. Don’t test her on that, though, as she has a firm grip and has been known to bite. She earned her B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan in 2011 and worked in emergency medicine research for five years before becoming a full-time freelance writer. Today she offers ghostwriting and writing coaching services. She has assisted in the production and publication of dozens of books and articles for business and tech publications. Her work has appeared in Analog Science Fiction & Fact, Compelling Science Fiction, SFVN, and Writers of the Future Vol. 33.
