Dione has always been an avid reader, and her love of fantasy started when she first read Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" in the 4th grade. At some point, her obsession with reading transformed into a driving need to write down all of the crazy daydreams that played out in her mind. She and her family live in Eastern Pennsylvania with their two frogs, one unnamed goldfish and Gracie - the most fabulous little dog ever.
