About the Author: Yulalona Lopez's life strangely parallels that of the hero of some of her novels, Coyote. She started out as an animal spirit and local legend to become an iconic image of mythical humor. She was raised by a Tohono O'odham father and schooled at local institutions, even unproductively at Harvard, to survive on the fringes of the modern monstrous megalith. Through the magic of words, Lopez has taken on a more spiritual existence as she explores the range of behavior of animals and readers and their incessant desire to be special and rich. Like Coyote, Lopez collects masks and bits of ruined technology. And, like Coyote, through her errors and greed, she points out the perils of selfishness in a limited world. Unlike Coyote, she can control her drooling and her odd sexual urges. She divides her time between west Tucson and south Tucson, Arizona, with occasional trips to her two-room den in North Tucson. She is an International sophisticate who only expresses herself locally. In a moment of weakness she put her info on Facebook and Urinepost.
