Byn Always has lived a bit of an unusual life. Moving often in childhood meant that she found her friends in books. While other kids played, she had her nose constantly buried in a book. One of her many dreams was to become a published author. With a vivid imagination and endless inspirations for stories, she managed to raise and homeschool five kids (now all grown and pretty much all sane, awesomely entertaining, useful human beings) whilst writing plays, children's stories and the like. Her dream of writing an actual full-length novel (for grown-ups, no less) was buried often under the demands of life, parenthood, mental health issues and honestly, just total freaking exhaustion from... well, from all of the above! In addition to the 'normal' life stuff, she has always spent three years living on a 40 ft converted bus, traveling the US with her husband and five children (as well as a dog and a guinea pig), lived for a year on a sailboat throughout the Bahamas and has moved house way too freaking often. A fascination with surviving trauma, she often writes with dark themes, working through her own issues by writing through the hard stuff. She's also completely confused as to how to end a biography for her author page, so she'll probably just leave you hanging now...
