ⓘ About Auralee Wallace
When this perpetually sleep-deprived mom of three kids and one rescue cat is not busy reading, writing, playing soccer, she can be found watching BBC mysteries and warring with this family of peregrine falcons for the rights to her own backyard. You can also find her pontificating about the Golden Age of Soap Operas. As soon as Auralee was able to read (age 2, if her overly proud mom’s stories can be believed) she devoured books of fairy tales. Her parents often found her asleep with the bedside light on, book still on her chest, most likely dreaming about cottages in forests, talking animals, bargains gone wrong, and witches. Especially witches. Auralee loves all kinds of tea. Lemon Ginger is a particular favorite of hers, however if she had to pick just one, it would be Earl Grey.
