R. E. Stearns wrote her first story on an Apple IIe computer
and still kind of misses green text on a black screen. She went on to
annoy all of her teachers by reading books while they lectured.
Eventually she read and wrote enough to earn a master's degree in
curriculum and instruction from the University of Central Florida. She
is hoping for an honorary doctorate. When not writing or working, R. E.
Stearns reads, plays PC games, and references Internet memes in
meatspace. She lives near Orlando, FL with her husband/computer engineer and a cat.
