Tam Chronin is a figment of the imagination, which might be why she lives there often enough to find her main characters and convince them to share their stories. Before becoming an author, she slayed trolls for many years in the wilds of the internet. It was a relief to retire from such harrowing adventures, but for a coin and a stiff drink she might recount them over a campfire. She lives in Phoenix, AZ, with her family and pets, including a vicious attack tortoise who guards the back yard.
