Born in Switzerland in 1960, her first immigration experience brought her to Los Angeles, California, in 1976. After graduating from UCLA, she spent a ‘gap year’ in Mexico, a second immigration experience that crystallized in a five-part poem called “Europe, Too, Came from Somewhere Else”. She returned to Los Angeles for graduate studies in linguistics and has applied what she learned as a researcher and academic language specialist ever since she completed her dissertation in 1991. In addition to literature, Gilaine loves to read science fiction, epic fantasy, romances, and poems from many lands. Octavia Butler, Frank Herbert, and Ursula Le Guin are favorites. She is exploring the worlds of web serials and independent publishing.vizualizați mai puține
