Meradeth's never been a big fan of talking about herself, but if you really want to know, here are some tidbits about her:  she's a Northern California girl and now braving the cold winters in Montana; when she's not writing, she's sequencing dead people's DNA. For fun!  She's also an anthropology professor and loves getting people interested in studying humans. If she could have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because she's terrified of heights.
