With a degree in Criminal Justice, and a fascination with the supernatural, Black combines experience and imagination to create dramatic stories that are believable, but don’t end quite the way you would expect.

An animal and nature lover, Black lives in the United States with her husband, a myriad of wild critters and two aliens disguised as cats. One of the furry darlings is rumored to be ET’s second cousin, but that has not been confirmed.
