Pender Mackie lives in Canada though she spent her childhood years in England. An imaginative child, Pender wasn't a willing student. Her father—deciding some incentive was needed—promised her a pony as soon as she could read. Properly motivated, Pender picked up a book and discovered the joys of fiction. Though her infatuation with ponies didn’t last, she still loves a good story. A technical writer for almost twenty years, Pender spends her daily commute making up characters, romantic plots, and daydreaming. Pender has several short stories published and two free reads available for download. When she's not doing endless laundry, she's busy coaxing another story into shape.
