Rachel Brady

I'm originally from Dayton, Ohio, but now live near Houston, Texas, where I'm an engineer in a research lab at NASA's Johnson Space Center. I've worked for the space program for ten years and before that I did a brief stint in accident reconstruction. Science and engineering are close to my heart, but I also love the escapism that fiction offers, which is probably why I started writing.

Like moms everywhere, I spend a good portion of every day taxiing short people to games and lessons, going over spelling words, mediating spats, and engaging in general tomfoolery. My kids are funny, smart, and three of my greatest joys, but they can also make an impressive mess in nothing flat. Motherhood is definitely the toughest job I'll ever love.

I do a variety of local runs, bike rides, and triathlons for fun. When it's time to relax, I grab a book, practice the guitar, or surf the Internet. My personal Holy Grail is finding a perfect balance between work, family, hobbies, and writing, but for now I'm still searching. I talk about it all on my blog, Write It Anyway. Stop by and tell me your tricks for keeping all your balls in the air.
