About the Author

Outside of my career as an author, I am a professional technical and creative writer, spider wrangler, animal lover, and devoted cat mom. Writing fantasy and science fiction stories has been my lifelong passion. I love drawing on my life experiences, doing everything from wild cave exploration and competitive horseback endurance riding to practicing iaido and archery. I invite you to join me on some fantastic adventures.
