K J HerridgeK.J. Herridge first began reading as a small child, each book a marvel.. In it's pages, she could become lost in whatever fantasy and fiction she was reading. As she grew older, no book was restricted from her fascination, sometimes even to the excluion of forfeiting her chores and allowance over her current book. From fantasy and romance to science fiction and horror, eventually progressing to historical, autobiographical and, as she entered her career in the health care field, the world of space and science. After over three decades in the health care field, she hung up her license to take up writing. A lifelong reader, self ascribed science and space nerd, avid gardener, and devoted dog lover, she dedicates a portion of every day to her research and writing (weekends are her only exception). An avid traveler, she has been lucky enough to travel the globe, from Africa to Amsterdam, France and England to Hawaii, across Canada and many of the USA states, where she has been able to glean insights from the cultures and landscapes she found herself in, deriving story lines as she did. Now married, she lives in southern Ontario with her husband, rescued Thai survivor dog and huge evolving garden. Read More Read Less
