Since Martha Gale came to Sweden she’s worked as a nurse's aide, physical therapist, and English teacher. Her current day job is as professor at the Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University (under the name of Marti G. Parker). Like Beatrice, the protagonist of Knowing Place, she learned about Sweden through working with elderly people. She turned to fiction for relief from the strict scientific writing demanded in research. She’s now working on a sequel to Knowing Place. Her web page is: http://marthagale.net
