Rio Koviak has degrees in Theater/Film and Animal Behavior, and has continued her fascination and involvement with both over the years. It is this love of the arts and animals that has prompted her to create a colorful story that is equally endearing as it is dramatic. Aside from managing her families needs, Rio dabbles in voice-over projects and manuscript reading for theBookDesigners (a studio that specializes in book design/services to self-published authors and major publishers worldwide). Rio resides in Norhern Oregon with her hubby Ian Koviak, two kids, and their highly tolerant cat, Tashin.
