Sandra Ulbrich
Almazan started reading at the age of three and only stops when absolutely
required to. Although she hasn’t been writing quite that long, she did compose
a very simple play in German during middle school. Her science fiction novella Move Over Ms. L. (an early version of Lyon’s Legacy) earned an Honorable
Mention in the 2001 UPC Science Fiction Awards, and her short story “A Reptile
at the Reunion” was published in the anthology Firestorm of Dragons. Other works include the science fiction Catalyst Chronicles series, the fantasy
Season Avatars series, SF Women A-Z: A Reader’s Guide, and
several science fiction and fantasy short stories. She is a founding member of
Broad Universe, which promotes science fiction, fantasy, and horror written by
women. Her undergraduate degree is in molecular biology/English, and she has a
Master of Technical and Scientific Communication degree. She currently works
for an enzyme company; she’s also been a technical writer and a part-time
copyeditor for a local newspaper. Some of her other accomplishments are losing
on Jeopardy! and taking a stuffed
orca to three continents. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband,
Eugene; and son, Alex. In her rare moments of free time, she enjoys crocheting,
listening to classic rock (particularly the Beatles), trooping as a Jawa with
the Midwest Garrison of the 501st Legion, and watching improv
comedy.
