Therese Arkenberg's first short story was accepted for publication on January 2, 2008, and her second acceptance came a few hours later.

When she isn't reading, writing, or editing (it's true!) she serves on the board of the Plowshare Center of Waukesha, which works for social, economic, and environmental justice.
