About the Author

Hi, I'm Milena Thomas, and I write Quiet the Thunder to cover topics that do not belong on my other blogs, mostly stuff about marriage, economics and politics from a classical liberal point of view, and occasionally, baby poop (though not usually in the same post).

My other blogs are: Working the Voice (about the art and business of singing) and Art and Avarice (about the intersection of the arts and economics). I am a musician, mother, wife, professor, and researcher. I love to bake, read, write, hang out with my dogs, and work out with my new PS3 video game and I blog about all that too.

All opinions expressed here are entirely my own, and may or may not represent those of my employer and/or anyone I knows.

Here are some of my most popular (or hated) blog posts:

• A Gripe About Annoying Pregnant Girl Syndrome
• Abortions for Earth? (Warning, I'm pro-life so don't read it if that upsets you.)
• Night Moves: Going to Grad School while Working Full Time
• A Few of My Favorite Things

I'm very interested in answering questions about economics for those who have a tough time understanding what the heck is going on these days, so leave a comment or email me if you have any. I'm also up for rational, even-handed debate on everything I write on this blog. So if you have something to say or you think I'm wrong, let me know.

You are free to contact me via the following handy-dandy form. But it may take a a while to hear back from me!
