Vol Ranger likes danger. She flings herself out of perfectly good aircraft, dabbles in surf watercoloring, and forges boldy into particle physics faculty parites in search of story material. She writes science fiction short stories, mystery novels, and erotica, and is a member of SFWA, MWA, and Sisters in Crime. She's the authors' area Sysop on GEnie's Science Fiction Round Tables (SF-VOL). Vol makes her homw in the San Francisco Bay region and attracts all the beach moon jellies and no fish.
