Beth Mattson is a writer, teacher, and mother in the driftless region of Wisconsin, surrounded by tractors, vegetable sprouts, and beasties of all varieties. She studied at The University of Wisconsin - Madison and California College of The Arts. She teaches at Western Technical College and is an avid pen pal who loves receiving fan art. Ophelia Immune is her first novel, but she has ridiculous poetry about your mom on Twitter and in some chap books. Her laundry is frequently clean, but rarely folded. She laments that emojis are not available in all communication formats.
