C.A. Legorreta spent her nomadic childhood exploring the natural world and the many worlds found within books. Her three brothers taught her how to be tough and that praying for something (namely, a sister) doesn’t always mean you’ll get what you ask for. After taking ten years to earn a BA in History (during which time she travelled and tutored and found her way in and out of her head), she spent the next decade promoting books and access to information in the King County Library System in Washington State. She currently resides in southern USA, where she balances writing with the mysteries and mayhem of motherhood.

But whether it's walking the dog or taking a long shower, I find that allowing my mind a chance to wander boosts my creativity. I keep little notebooks all over the house for when the ideas come.(less)
