When Leaves Listen

Katie Feavel is an avid bookworm from Arizona. She has a master's degree in criminology and uses her academic background to form ethically complex characters. Her neurologically diverse household further inspires her to create characters who do not fit the conventional mold but challenge us to normalize the spectrum of human experience. Katie spends her days collecting hobbies, lifting things, drinking coffee, fighting battles-against a pile of laundry or against Godlings in a fantasy land-and having kitchen dance parties with her husband and four young children. She believes the true beauty of fantasy is its ability to tackle significant social problems in a creative way. Benyu Born of Ash is her first fantasy novel.
