About The Artist/Author
Lola Jovan knows monsters. Her fabled upbringing in their midst honed her ability to sew herself back together.
Tracked by monsters from the frozen north to the sweltering south and out to the wild, wild west, she now resides in an enchanted castle surrounded by charmed feathers, bones, and stones gathered while wandering the Wild Lands.
She and her wolf and a feisty chihuahua embrace naps, reading aloud, and learning crow-speak.
