Kate Rauner, Hanover, New Mexico, USAA science fiction writer, poet, firefighter, and engineer on the way to becoming an eccentric old woman.I write science fiction novels and science-inspired poetry, and serve as a volunteer firefighter. I'm also a retired environmental engineer and Cold War Warrior (honestly, that's what Congress called us) because I worked in America's nuclear weapons complex.
