Swan, S. L.: - S. L. Swan has always been a writer and teller of stories, though she's taken a circuitous route to publication. She has longed to explore careers along the boundary lines of geologist, anthropologist, biologist, historian, astronaut, explorer, travel writer, nutritionist and dietician, actor, chef, and even park ranger and has determined that writing will give her these outlets.

In her free time, Swan loves hiking and nature walks, gardening, painting, and reading voraciously. She isn't located quite close enough to the mountains for her liking, but she's happy to live with her family in a lovely old bungalow in a small city nearby.
