Cherise Kelley grew up in a family of teachers. Her father, Ronald Morris, taught social studies and history for 30 years at Arcadia High School in Southern California. Her mother is a registered nurse who teaches parents about the special needs of their premature infants. Her sister, Kristine Morris White, is a grand prix level dressage horse trainer.

She has taught English at the college, high school, and middle school level, but prefers to substitute so that she has time for her writing.

Kaxian Duty

My tail went under my belly and wagged as fast as it could while Dad prepared me one more time by the backyard fence.

Check the scent messages before you turn. He turned his head sideways and looked at me.

Yes, Dad. I rolled over on my back to show him I knew he was boss.

He licked my belly, which made me laugh and roll around on my back because it tickled, and then Dad raised his nose to tell me I should get up. You'll find Kaxian Headquarters with no problem, if you follow the scent messages.

I'll follow them, Dad.

I was concentrating hard, so my tail didn’t go under my belly. I was able to keep its wag down to a slower rate than a minute ago, but it was still going pretty fast. I’ve always hated that part of being a puppy: not being able to control my tail. It told everyone exactly what I was thinking!

Not remembering my past lives is a close second on my list
