Sage Walker

Sage Walker was born in Oklahoma and grew up steeped in simile and sultry south wind from the Gulf. She entered college as a music major and exited with a B.S. in Zoology and eventually a M.D. A long time Taos resident, her company established the first full-time Emergency Physician coverage in hospitals in Taos, Los Alamos, and Santa Fe. She stopped practicing in 1987 and describes herself as a burned-out ER doc who enjoys wilderness, solitude, good company... and telling stories. Walker has contributed to the Wild Cards fiction series, and is the author of Whiteout, which won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. She was one of several science fiction authors who attended a United States Department of Homeland Security conference on science and technology aimed at preventing future terrorist attacks.
