Caroline Ailanthus is a novelist, blogger, and free-lance writer and editor. Most of her work revolves around science somehow, even her fiction. Or, perhaps, especially her fiction. She is the author of two novels, To Give a Rose and Ecological Memory, as well as various blogs, short stories and essays.

Caroline grew up in Delaware and attended various small, odd schools, mostly in New England. She has a BA in Environmental Leadership and an MS in Conservation Biology. She now lives in Maryland with her husband and assorted dogs and cats. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found either walking her beagles or making a complete mess of the kitchen.
