Jennifer Gale

Jennifer Gale was born in a desert windstorm that blew out the hospital windows. Now surrounded by Pacific Northwest wetlands, she planted a magical garden for the local wildlife, and converted the shed into the witch hut where she writes, weaves, creates digital worlds, and researches the forgotten 17th century movement that tried to stop capitalism. In addition to writing music, novels, short stories, and genre-relevant papers for conferences, she has published nearly forty episodes for a fantasy pirate storytelling game.
