As a card-carrying alien herself, Jen Kerson was born at some point before paper was invented. Legend has it that her birth certificate can be found in the Petroglyph National Monument, assuming you're an archeologist and/or can understand pictographs. She taught herself how to read long before she ever started school, and has since been writing dry, academic things that are of no interest to anybody. That's okay though--in that world, you just pretend to understand and nod a lot. More recently, she has been working on the Prime Derivatives Series, which is essentially the written work of a very demanding set of teenagers who have been whispering their stories to her. Now that the first of their stories has been told, the voices are louder and more insistent that anyone would think possible.

She enjoys reading dystopia, books on magic, werewolves, vampires, demons and any other strange creature or being who remind her of her neighbors. She can be found in the barrens of New Mexico, trying to find the remnants of the Mother Ship with her dog, Scout.
