Bio
My imagination has saved me more times than I can count. I read and write fiction because it's the only way I can visit other worlds. I love animals and the natural world, which is why I pursued a degree in Zoology and Wildlife Ecology.

Inner Light
The owl has a contradictory character in human history and Myth. Seen as evil, a harbinger of death and yet also a wise protector. Owls were the Goddess Athena's favorite bird. She believed they contained an inner light, which granted them sight, in the darkest of nights.

Duchess
I was an escape artist, according to my mother. I ran off and was sneaky about it. But really, I only ever made it out the backdoor into our tiny, fenced yard. (Well, except that one time, but I'm getting ahead of myself). At the ripe old age of 2, that yard was a wonderland that I explored with my best friends. A German Shepherd and a Newfoundland. The Newfie was soft and fun to chase but knocked me over often. She wasn't my favorite friend. The shepherd was patient and gentle. My young heart adored her. Her name was Duchess.
