Carrie Laben lives in Brooklyn with four cats, three rats, and one human. She currently writes software user manuals and other still more dire things for a living, but this is a big improvement over milking cows and selling used books to agitated mental patients. This is her first outing as a professional fiction author, but she has had several essays published in various books and periodicals that you haven’t read if you haven’t been to Ithaca, NY. In her spare time, she enjoys collecting books, looking at birds, and finding new and different things to eat.

Carrie Laben has the following works available at Clarkesworld:
