Michaela A. Gabriel lives in Vienna, Austria, where she helps adults to acquire computer and English skills, and gets together with the muse as often as possible. She has been published in English, German, Italian, and Polish, both online and in print. Her first chapbook, "apples for adam", was published by FootHills Publishing in January 2005, and she has another chapbook, "the secret meanings of greek letters" forthcoming from dancing girl press in October 2007. When she is not writing, she is reading, listening to music, watching movies, blogging, communicating with friends, playing tennis or travelling - usually several of these at the same time.
