Angel Clough has always been a very unconventional woman, so it is no surprise that HELLO MYRMIDON is very unique. After college, instead of starting her career, she chose to circle the globe alone, sleeping in youth hostels and often riding in third-class, to get the feel of the country. Home again, she earned a master's degree, and then found a job on the far north coast of California. It is almost always cold and wet there, and far away from the rest of the world, so most folks find it greatly distasteful. But she enjoyed the special attractions the area offers because of this unique climate.
