Linda Robeck has been writing poetry in various forms for as long as she can remember. Intent on becoming a writer, she detoured into aerospace engineering for a few years after the excitement of the Viking landing on Mars in 1976 inspired her to focus on the stars. After two college degrees in Aerospace Engineering, she went to work for NASA. The pinnacle of her "rocket scientist" career involved building the wildly successful Mars Pathfinder spacecraft that landed on Mars in 1997. This brought her aerospace career full circle, back to the landing on Mars that had originally inspired her interest in space. She promptly retired from the space business and moved back home to New England with her husband. Now she works part time from home as a technical writer and technical recruiter so that she can devote half of her time to her original love of writing poetry, writing stories, or just writing. She's got one novel well under way. Linda joined the haijinx team in August, 2001, as the production manager. She was the primary editor for our special memorial issue in September, 2001. Previous credits include: Frogpond, Modern Haiku, Mayfly, Acorn, Borders & Time, Haiku Harvest, and others. haiku (in editors' picks I-2): "Sunday funnies" - haijinx volume I, issue 2 haiku: "autumn night" haiku (in editors' picks I-1): "first snow" - haijinx volume I, issue 1 haiku: "winter rain" - previously unpublished
