After graduating from the University of Illinois-Champaign Urbana, she started a career as a science editor, first with a scientific publishing house and then free lance. Tiring of correcting other people's manuscripts, she decided to try her hand at writing fiction. The result was her first novel, Grandpa and Frank.
