Daughter of Oreveille - Paperback

Tricia Ballad started making up stories as soon as she was old enough to talk, and began writing them down soon after. When she could not find a story to fit her mood, she wrote one. And in one way or another, she's been writing ever since. After spending most of her childhood cavorting with words when she should have been learning algebra, she came up for air in college, did her fair share of stupid things, met the love of her life, and managed to graduate with a degree in creative writing. Tricia spent the next decade in a haze of sleep deprivation and diapers. When she finally remembered how to sleep again, she returned to writing stories. Her debut novel, Daughter of Oreveille, was released in August 2013. Tricia lives in Illinois with her husband, four children, and assorted other creatures. She is fairly certain there is a family of coffee-stealing gnomes hiding in the walls.
