M. Lauryl is Pacific Northwest born and raised. She lives near the Cascade Foothills with her husband and their three sons, four dogs, and three cats.
She has learned recently, after almost losing one of her children to brain cancer, to enjoy each and every day for what it is, savoring the good along with the bad. She can be found camping, fishing, reading, writing, or enjoying simple pleasures like cooking dinner or gazing at the Cascade mountain range from her front porch. Her favorite places to vacation are polar opposites, Alaska and Hawaii.
