Award-winning Author & former Flight ControllerThe Wonders of Space
Will humans ever live on other worlds or in space itself?
A former NASA flight controller with a degree in physics, I share my passion for space with adults and children through books, articles, stories, and speeches promoting the eventual settlement of space.
Speaking of Space...
I offer programs for adults and kids, STEM workshops for kids and teachers, and editing and self-help services for writers. Sign up (via the Contact page) for my FREE monthly Science Snacks newsletter to learn more about space, upcoming publications, and appearances.
My Books
My memoir, A Passion for Space let's you experience what it was like to be one of the first women in NASA's Mission Control. My science fiction collection, Fly Me to the Moon, includes stories of how we might have survived a Space Shuttle disaster, how the rescued memories of an Alzheimer's patient may save a future Moon mission, and what a terminally-ill cancer patient may discover on Europa.
My children's books explain how Apollo went To the Moon and Back, what we know and how we plan to return to the Moon (Welcome to the Moon), why the Space Station falls and never lands; how to get oxygen from rocks for our Home on the Moon); where we might build the first settlement on Mars (Welcome to Mars).
