Growing up in a small mid-western town, Audrey spent her summers playing solitaire and riding her bike to the library to find stories that would capture her imagination.

Those books inspired her to join the army, go to college, run a marathon, hike the Grand Canyon, jump out of perfectly good airplanes, and travel the world.

Audrey currently lives in Vancouver, Canada with her partner of 30 years and their two adopted shelter dogs, Sadie and Athena. Her latest goal is to visit U.S. National Parks to complete her stamp collection.
