About the Author
The Wolf Chronicles trilogy was inspired by my fascination with our relationship with dogs. It has always amazed me that we treat dogs as part of our family and they treat us as part of the their packs, and I wanted to explore why.
I had been trying to write for about ten years when the wolves barged into my apartment, demanding that I tell their story. Since they can't type very well (they keep hitting the space bar by mistake) , I agreed.
I have been an (unsuccessful) actor, a book editor, and a martial artist. I can walk on my hands, but cannot juggle.
