When she is not typing away at her laptop, Teya J. Bell-Leishman runs a laboratory two days a week. She and her husband Nathan have three children: beautiful twin daughters and a charming son. They also have a fat orange cat, a black and gray prissy cat, and an energetic Bernese mountain pup. Many warm, summer days spent enjoying the outdoors inspire and provide a safe haven for Teya to create her fictional worlds of wonder.
