She fussed until her Mom got her a real box of crayons and she's been drawing since. Much of her youth was spent near a place called Lummi Island, and she has fond memories of riding the portly little ferry to the library once a week. Educated at the University of Washington and then truly taught at the School of Hard Knocks, she's never forgotten that she's from a family of writers. She started writing stories since she learned to type, and hasn't quit that either. Currently she lives in a place so dry, the name means Dry Place, and loves every cactus, every bird, and every fluff that crosses the blue, blue sky. She has edited and illustrated several books, both fiction and non fiction, collaborated on two poetry chapbooks, and illustrates stories and poetry as well. She runs the blog Mind-flight.org, as well as her own art site at Rohvannynshaw.com. Her novel, The Dice of Fate, is available on Amazon, with more books and stories coming out all the time. She lives in Arizona with her partner and a very fluffy calico cat who rules the house with an iron paw. Her other hobbies include storm watching, baking, nature photography, drawing, painting, playing electric guitar, and drinking cheladas on the back patio in the sun.view less
