About the author

Kate Rauner is a retired Cold War Warrior. She worked for over twenty years at the Rocky Flats Plant, once part of the nation's nuclear weapons complex. She helped decommission the site, which is now a National Wildlife Refuge.

Kate moved to southwest New Mexico and worked at the copper mines around Silver City, including the historic Santa Rita mine. Santa Rita has been mined since Native Americans collected copper there before the Spaniards entered Mexico.

Today she lives outside Silver City on the edge of the Gila National Forest with her husband and cat. She enjoys hiking and bird-watching, and, as a volunteer firefighter, has fought wildland and home fires. "I'm well on my way to my life's goal," Kate says. "To become an eccentric old woman."

Great Book of Short Stories

It's been a while since anything science fiction caught my fancy. I read through these short stories in two days while on break from work and getting ready for bed at night. They're fun little stories with unique characters and plot lines.

Womanly

Freebie from four female authors. Suitable for teens and adults. One of the sci fi stories is actually supernatural. But all the stories are good quality work.

These were fun and interesting short stories introducing the authors. More in fantasy realm than anything else, but innovative approaches.
Quick reads, fun - I enjoyed them.
