Maddelein Katharine Claeys (or ‘MK’ to her friends!) is making her introduction to the formal publishing world with UI 101, but she is no stranger to writing. Her previous “claim to fame” is being rated in the top 10 of Fan Fiction authors, but she won’t tell you what series (although you can still find her other stories, if you know where to look)… Other published works include a horribly boring and technical dissertation that nobody wants to read, especially her. MK is an alumna of Michigan State University and lives in North Carolina with her spouse, daughter, and two black rescue cats.
