Trish was born and mostly raised in San Diego, California, where she lives now with her family and pets. She began writing short stories and poetry in high school after an obsession with Stephen King's 'The Stand'. After over fifteen years of crazy dreams and an overactive imagination, she began her first book, 'I Hope You Find Me', in December of 2011. It was then that her first Fantasy series was born.

When she is not writing and researching, or editing and formatting, she's homeschooling her children, reading during her free-time, and enjoying the Southern California sun.

She's an animal lover, and regularly saves mice, lizards and birds from her three rescue dogs, Zoey, Bear and Kaylee. They all share the house with River, the rescue cat, who is part dog and part old man.
