Jaleta Clegg loves telling stories that involve aliens, explosions, pirates, airships, swords, ray guns, and sometimes unicorns and fairies. She has an 11-book space opera series, a steampunk fairy novel, and lots of silly horror short stories. She's currently working on more fun stuff. When not writing, she has been known to mess around with yarn and quilts. She enjoys cooking weird food and growing her own berries for making jams and jellies. She lives in Washington state with aging pets, a diminishing horde of children, and a very patient husband.
