Margaret McGaffey Fisk was born overseas during her father's first full post with the US State Department. She grew up in the diplomatic and ex - pat community, a place of mixed cultures, philosophical discussions, and grand pranksters. Between wild car rides into the desert to climb sand mountains, the discovery of little known archeological sites, and visits to various bazaars and inner cities, she developed a love of culture, language, and the point where these cross over and often clash. Add a theatrical father, largely British teachers, and a return to the United States that was the epitome of culture clash, and Margaret was left with story fodder crossing the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and romance, with a sprinkling of real-world stories as well. Join her in wandering foreign lands, stepping foot on new planets, or exploring the inner workings of the heart along with many other journeys of the imagination that offer entertainment mixed in with a thought or two to ponder.
