The first symptom of Roxi's life-long affliction with books and story-telling appeared in 1st grade as she begged the teacher for more reading and writing homework. At eight, she announced to her mom that she planned to get a job reading when she grew up. After a fast-paced career as co-founder of a consulting firm, she finally surrendered to the pull of the written word and published her first novel. Born into a remote Mennonite community in northern British Columbia, Canada, Roxi spent her childhood surrounded by hardworking farmers, loggers, and good-hearted small town people. Curiosity about what lay beyond the horizon, and hunger for bigger challenges drew her away after high school, but the grounding and appreciation of that simple beginning remain at her core. Roxi feeds her soul by discovering new things, whether they be found on distant shores or curled up in the swinging chair on the porch of her cabin, lost in a story well told. She lives on Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia, Canada. Find out about Roxi's story telling at www.roxiharms.com.
