Aurora Springer

Aurora Springer is a scientist morphing into a novelist. This year, I achieved a lifelong ambition by becoming a published novelist, after years of working as a professional scientist. I have composed science fiction and fantasy stories for as long as I can remember. I was born in the UK, and have a PhD in molecular biophysics. Currently, I live in Atlanta, USA with my husband, a dog and the requisite two cats to lie on my laptop. My novels allow me to express humor and a wild imagination with weird new characters and worlds, while exploring serious questions. My published works include science fiction romance novels and a short fantasy novella.
