achel Aaron is the author of The Spirit Thief, an adventure fantasy about a charming wizard thief and the poor bastards who have to try and catch him, forthcoming from Orbit along with two others in Fall of 2010. She lives in Athens, GA (which she stresses is not real Georgia, but a strange island nation all its own), with her husband Travis, keeper of the other half of her brain, and her dog Lettie, who didn’t have half a brain to begin with. When she’s not writing, Rachel does web design and generally nerds about in video games, fantasy novels, and pretty much any fun, cool stuff she can get her hands on. This means that sometimes there’s more not writing than writing going on, but she gets by.
