ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’ve always loved to read. I can spend hours in a library, carefully choosing novels to check out and devour during stolen, quiet moments. Even with technology, I still prefer physically turning the page of a book, folding down the ear of a page to remind me where I am when I reluctantly have to put it down.

I never thought of myself as a writer, even after I saw my first article in a magazine. It took a while to accept the fact that retelling a humorous story about my children in my blog, sharing the vulnerable emotions of losing my friend to cancer in a magazine article, or losing myself in the lives of the fictional characters I created for my book were the very definition of “author”. Sometimes it’s easier for me to express myself in writing than in speech. Now I know – I am not only a voracious reader, but I am also a phenomenally creative writer. Visit Althea’s Blog >>

Does Iris have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with her conniving mentor? And will she be able to do it without breaking a few hearts along the way?
