Katrina J. Daroff, or Katie to those closest to her, received her Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing form Whitworth University and is currently (at the time this book was published) working toward an MFA from Pacific Lutheran University. A true Pacific Northwest Girl, her passions include; coffee, travel, film photography, anything that gets her out into the woods, and being left alone so the serotonin goblins can perform little plays in her head (one of which ultimately became the Light and Shadow Series).
