Texas is the wintering home for the only wild flock of the endangered Whooping Crane and a big attraction for birders in the Gulf area. Coincidentally, I learned that the Whooping Crane mates for life. I thought this was the perfect Crane to “star” in my romance.

The idea for The Mirror Realm was spawned from my husband discovering a hidden closet behind a mirror in our old apartment. It made me wonder: what if every mirror in the world led to a secret, hidden realm? Hence the Mirror Realm was born.
