Dr. Virginia Loh-Hagan is an author, university professor, and former K-8 teacher. She writes books about things that geek her. She especially likes to write about her Chinese-American heritage. After all, she was born on Flag Day in the Year of the Dragon.

She's also interested in writing fun facts about monsters, weird bodily noises, urban legends, hot dogs, and anything on the odd side. She loves doing nerdy things like reading and crocheting. She does not like doing anything that makes her sweat.

She loves to tell students, "Your first draft is not your final draft. There is no such thing as being done with one's writing. Writers revise and rewrite over and over again. At some point, we decide it's good enough but the work is never finished. A new idea, or a deadline, compels us to move on."

She lives in San Diego with two non-trained naughty dogs and one semi-well-trained husband. Learn more about her at www.virginialoh.com.
