God's War (47 page)

Over the years, I found out that
poverty wasn’t such a catastrophe. The real tragedy would have been dying
before I’d ever published a book.

There are some things worth coming
back for.

Kameron Hurley currently hacks out a living as a marketing
and advertising writer in Ohio. She’s lived in Fairbanks, Alaska; Durban, South
Africa; and Chicago, but grew up in and around Washington State. Her personal
and professional exploits have taken her all around the world. She spent much
of her roaring 20’s traveling, pretending to learn how to box, and trying not
to die spectacularly. Along the way, she justified her nomadic lifestyle by
picking up degrees in history from the University of Alaska and the University
of Kwa-Zulu Natal. Today she lives a comparatively boring life sustained by
Coke Zero, Chipotle, low-carb cooking, and lots of words. She continues to work
hard at not dying. Follow the fun at
