Avery’s love for reading started with the complete collection of Nancy Drew books she received on her seventh birthday. After reading each one, she started on The Hardy Boys and Trixie Belden series and by the time she was nine, she had completed her own manuscript of a young girl and boy on a search for a stolen book in the desert. Complete with trap doors to secret places and talking camels, it was her first attempt at a genre today called ‘paranormal’. Of course, it was only ninety pages long and contained no romance, but it whetted her appetite for writing.

As usual, life gets in the way, but Avery continued to love the written word and started writing seriously for publication a few years ago. Believing the world a magical place, she writes Young Adult pparanormals and urban fantasies that include mythes, legends, and guardians of secret treasures.
