Natasha Brown lives with her husband, two children and three dogs in Littleton, Colorado. She was inspired to write a story about a girl struggling with her heart condition, after her daughter was born with heart defects. "I like lead women who have the tenacity to carry on even in the face of adversity. Ana is a character I look up to - and I can't wait to share with my readers where her character is going." http: //www.theshapeshifterchronicles.com
