Jayge Carr - In her own words
Jayge Carr earned her degree in physics, and was working for NASA in nuclear
research when she quit--this was long ago, you understand--to start raising her
children.
Her writing career started when she was reading a particularly poorly written
book, and threw it across the room and snarled, "I can write a better book than
THAT!"
Her other half, little knowing what he was unleashing on an unsuspecting world,
said, "Why don't you?"
To which she replied, "Because I'm not a writer."
Logic is the other half's middle name, as it should be for pragmatic engineers.
"How do you know until you try?"
Ms. Carr's "trying" has produced four published novels and approximately 75
short stories, all of them SF/F except for one recent mystery story. Several of
her works have been recommended for Nebulas, or used in Best of Year
collections.
She now lives with her husband of many years and two demanding cats in a house
that includes His and Her studies, where she continues to write, while planning
gleefully to spoil her grandchildren, aka the most beautiful, intelligent, and
best behaved prekindergartner and toddler in this hemisphere. |

This last paragraph was delightfully true when we wrote it, in November 2005. |
