An avid reader from a very early age, I found equal enjoyment in writing. My first works included short stories, poetry, and articles before venturing into the world of blogging and then fiction and non-fiction books.

I draw my writing from my many interests. I might be found watching a Star Trek movie (for the sixteenth time!) while creating new healthy vegan recipes. Although I truly love life on their family organic farm, I also enjoy venturing into town for the occasional Japanese dinner or bowling with family night. My reading varies from a variety of non-fiction to favorite fiction genres such as sci-fi, eco-fiction, science fantasy, hopepunk, dystopian, and historical fiction.

Family and my beloved pets are most cherished to me. I also have a deep passion for helping others and find that often the best help is to just be a good listener.

I live in Christmas, Florida with my beloved husband of 42 years, four of our nine children and our family pets.

In addition to my children’s books, I also write eco-themed science fiction under the name D.M. Volans.
