Sonia Orin Lyris is a writer of fantasy, horror, mainstream, and science fiction, as well as software documentation and business plans. She has a shodan in Aikido, can wield a range of weapons, and dances Argentine tango and Blues. She has raised an emu from a hatchling, been kicked and spat on by llamas, and been pounced on by a cougar cub-not all at the same time. She lives in the Pacific Northwest. |
