Jaxton, Paulette

Paulette Jaxton began writing prose and poetry in high school, but was encouraged to focus on math and science instead by well meaning teachers. A world famous poet once praised a verse she wrote about butterflies, until the women noticed a spelling error and pronounced the poem “a piece of crap”.
In the 1970s, Paulette left college to pursue a career in computer programming at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Later she went on to work for Digital Equipment Corporation developing telecommunications software and advanced user interfaces. She currently works developing interactive kiosk technology for retail applications.
She kept her writings to herself until 2008 when she produced Form Letter Rejection Theatre, a podcast anthology of her short speculative fiction. The Empress Sword is her first novel.
