Doranna was born writing (instead of kicking she scribbled on the wall of the womb) and never stopped, even though it took some time for the world to understand what she was up to. She grew up attached to college-rule notebooks and resisted all attempts at separation. Eventually she got a college degree (wildlife illustration) and had grand adventures on horseback in the Appalachians before ending up in the Southwestern high country with her laptop, dogs, horse and uncontrollable imagination.
