The Powers Within: The Evolution of Peri Delant

K. Mareet has lived in over thirty different locations between more civilised suburbia and outback Australia. Her love of reading pretty much everything and writing poetry, short stories, and long letters have been constant. Her foray into writing novels has become an unequivocal pleasure and an addictive, consuming passion. She also enjoys crafts, art, music, and history, and she is fascinated with the beauty and complexity of the universe. She believes that just because the existence of supernatural beings and magic hasn't been proven, it doesn't mean they don't exist. She has a husband who works away and kids who have their own goals to strive for, and chronic insomnia is a bonus that allows her to read and write all hours of the day or night. She writes very fast and types very slowly but has been learning how to train a dragon to obey her every command and pick up the slack. While her family and friends don't always like or understand the darker or adventurous aspects of what pours from her imagination or her need to constantly scribble, they are always supportive and encouraging and maybe a little amazed at the growing pile of manuscripts. She's a little amazed herself and a tad daunted as well at the task of transferring them to the computer, but while there are books to read and her own impatient characters demanding to get out of her head, she'll continue indulging in the passion and pleasure of writing about their struggles and triumphs. Her stories tend to be gritty and dark and not for the easily offended or fainthearted, but whatever the genre, the underlying theme is always about love, striving to overcome adversity, being better and true to yourself, and being accepted for who you are is worth living and even dying for.
