ABOUT THE AUTHOR

DONITA K. PAUL comes from a family of storytellers and teachers. So it is only natural that she loves spinning imaginative tales interwoven with lore. A retired schoolteacher, she keeps her hands in the mix by being one of the professional storytellers in the Sunday-school department of her church.

Donita enjoys keeping in touch with her readers through www.dragonspell.us. This interactive Web site has more details about the land of Amara, plus games, recipes, a fan gallery, and much more.

She has two grown children, two grandchildren, and two dogs. She currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the shadow of Pikes Peak. When she’s not writing, she enjoys reading all genres, from picture books to biography.
