Chandra K. Clarke started out as a freelance reporter for a chain of agribusiness newspapers. This means that a) she had to endure a lot of jokes about being outstanding in her field and b) she has a really thick portfolio of articles on soybeans.
If pressed, she'll admit that she's done hard time as a municipal beat reporter and a managing editor for a weekly newspaper. She has also freelanced for publications like Discovery Channel Online, Gale Research, and Spaceref.com. She has a diploma in robotics, a BA in English, and has an MSc in Space Exploration Studies. She plans to get her PhD in the same subject, mainly so she can say "As a matter of fact, I am a rocket scientist."
She got into humor and fiction writing when she discovered that it's much more fun to write when you actually admit you're making it up as you go along. She released her first novel, a sci-fi adventure called Taiamoora, in 1999. Her weekly humour column In My Humble Opinion is published worldwide in newspapers and magazines, and is available via email subscription at her humor site. She also runs an editing and proofreading company at http://www.scribendi.com. She also runs a free lexicon site for English idioms, catch phrases and words at What Does That Mean?.
