Bethany Maines

Bethany Maines is an award-winning writer and native of Tacoma WA, who is actually very much like her fictional heroines: she travels to exotic lands and has the ability to kick some serious butt with her black belt in karate. And while her travels may not necessarily include fighting mercenaries or super agents of evil so much as eating spicy foods and hiking to the tops of mountains (okay, really big hills), her black belt skills are mainly employed in teaching karate to a classroom full of kids (although there was that one riot in Paris…), and her day job is something she actually enjoys (graphic design is fun!), she’s pretty much a superhero in her own right.
