Marguerite Krause's favorite activities involve working with words. In addition to writing, she works as a freelance copyeditor helping other writers to sharpen their skills, and for relaxation loves nothing better than to curl up with a good book. She also has a master's degree in music and performs with a local symphony orchestra, and has held a variety of jobs over the years: short-order cook, day-care provider ice-cream packer, and driver for a courier company. She is married to her high-school sweetheart; they have two children. Her two-part epic fantasy novel, Moons' Dreaming and Moons' Dancing, cowritten with 5usan 5izemore, will be released by Five Star (a Gale Imprint) in Fall 2003.
