Autorenporträt
Raf Morgan has prepared all her life to be a writer, though she didn't know it. Like that time she volunteered to protect sea turtles on a beach in Costa Rica and wound up with half her body in the nest at 3 am with a blue plastic bag under the turtle's butt to catch her eggs to relocate them so poachers couldn't find them. Or living in Bangkok, Thailand, which is where she is now for her day job. (She's from the USA, but she has also lived in Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.)Mostly she has worked as a technical editor and a Spanish to English translator in the US, Mexico City, Lima, Moscow and Surabaya, but she has also worked as a dog walker, on bilingual websites, and in criminal and family courts as an advocate. She has been asked to interpret from Portuguese even though she doesn't speak Portuguese (it was an emergency) and gotten up at 4 am to edit a meeting report and ended her day at the Bolshoi Theater watching Russian ballet. She also writes fantasy as R. Morgan.
