Author Biography

I was born with the ability to control the elements, fire being the easiest. I suppose I should start at the beginning and tell you that I came about under unusual circumstances. My mother was a 30 year old who ran away from her life as a wandering gypsy because she dreamed of becoming a fire-breathing acrobat. My father was a 25 year old warlock who wanted to rule the world. Suffice to say, it did not work out.
