    About this ebook

    Delta’s story is told in the first person narrative coercing the reader to anthropomorphize, to empathize, and to put themselves in her shoes, so to speak. An Asian elephant whose family was killed in the 1930’s, she takes you through seven decades in the life of an individual who is normally not thought of twice: a performing elephant.
    Throughout the account are hints of time and history sugar coated by music. Character names are hybrids of real-life noted elephants and elephant-noted people, presenting the reader with a challenge to see and think beyond mere words.

    K.A. Monroe

    K.A. Monroe is a former journalist who now writes fiction and is expanding into fringe genres. She has also written and directed a successful murder mystery stage play, based on true events, titled the Legend of Biltmore Mary. She is currently working on sit-com pilot scripts and other screenplays touching on the subject matter of haunting, bullying and other social issues that are changing in our world today. Like countless others, she was deeply touched and subsequently inspired by the true events of the tragic Tyke incident. She was moved to write her first two books (Tyke & the Elephant Angel for readers Preschool+ and Delta the Dancing Elephant for young adults), both about elephants, after witnessing abuse they endured back in 2004. There are about eight additional projects waiting for her attention.
