Having learned to read by age four, Davonne hasn't stopped since. At age seven, they read The Yearling and learned something wonderful, books were populated by real people in real places. They never went back to the kids section again. Their mother, recognizing the need for more substantial reading material, introduced them to Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Jules Vern. Thus a life-long love of science fiction was born. It was after reading Ender's Game in middle school that the desire to write became overwhelming. However it would be nearly ten years before their first full novel Sorrow's Fall was completed. Davonne currently lives in Ozark, MO with their spouse and three young children in whom they are instilling a health love of all things geeky. They are currently in the midst of several projects including Sorrow's Despair, the sequel to Sorrow's Fall, along with The Jeweled Dagger a steampunk adventure.
