In her former career, Jax Hix was a scientist who published research, science fiction stories and poetry. She is still a geek and lives in Washington with her Blonde Spouse, Human and Furry Children and many plants. Jax has been writing, drawing, and performing music since early childhood. She would like to someday grow up to be the weird cat lady on the block. Jax is obsessed with coffee and detests shoes. She is prone to ramble and suffers from an unnatural obsession with bubble wrap and lineoleum. She also loves to run with scissors and other sharp objects, but never in front of the kids. When she is not busy embarassing her children, she writes. She recently completed Golden Deer Sun… and White Bear Moon (children's book) and Chronicles of My Life With a Blonde (comedy fiction). Her nonfiction book, Suburban Farming, will be available in 2012. She continues to write novels.
