About the Author

Holly Quan lives in the foothills of southwestern Alberta among the poplars and coyotes. In addition to two books in the Amazing Stories series, she has written two guidebooks and magazine articles on travel, food, horses, marketing and other topics that pique her interest. When she’s not busy working on her novel—a work many years in the making—she loves to ski, ride, hike, swim, drink wine with her friends and howl at the moon.
