I live in Southern California with my family plus my dog Dottie, our border collie, and Ms. Miles, our cat. I hope you will love this book as much as I did. There's a person behind the scenes that would take me to the Desert, National Park, and Amboy. I wouldn't have gotten the idea for this story if it wasn't for him. I love spending my time reading books when I can and love going for long drives to the desert. I put my time into it over the years and never gave up on my writing. Many nights, I would stay up and get this book done but my personal life had other plans, so I had put this book on hold and I would write a chapter or two when I got the chance to do so. This book has been a journey for me because my idea for writing this book came when I went to Joshua Tree National Park in 2012 and that's when I really began writing. The story takes place in a National Park and that's how this book got off the ground."view less
