M.D. Koffin chose the name as a tribute to her great-grandmother Coffin, who was a science fiction writer, a language teacher, and a perpetual student of everything from psychology to nuclear physics. She individualizes the name with a K, hoping that her published novels will reside on bookshelves near those of best-selling author Stephen King. With a degree in computer science, she applies her creative mind to game programming and robotics, as well as writing fiction. |
