Next stop on the Blog Hop

Blog Sabine Priestly on September 8th. Website: http://www.sabinepriestley.com
Sabine grew up in Phoenix, but has lived in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Massachusetts and Florida. She has a BS
in Electrical Engineering Technologies and did everything but her thesis for a
Masters degree in Cultural Anthropology, looking at the nexus of culture and
technology. She was a Project Manager flying back and forth between Tucson and
Boston when she met her very own alien. She spent a year running the QA
department for a seriously cool and under appreciated computer telephony system
then moved to California where she ran a small tech support group for a company
making DSL routers before anyone knew what DSL was. A life long fan of Science
Fiction and Romance novels, Alien Attachments naturally gelled in her imagination.
Sabine lives in Florida with her husband, kids, cats and whole mess of
characters in her head.
