Larraine Stacey began her writing career as a reporter writing a daily column, features and  editorials. At the encouragement of friends, she started writing fiction. She has taught writing classes online and at a Denver college, has tutored reading at a local elementary school and mentored a talented 7th grader in writing. An avid science fiction fan for over 25 years, she loves travelling the country going to sci-fi cons. Her office is filled with sci-fi memorabilia and collectibles. She has presented workshops at numerous writers conferences, sf/f conventions, book festivals, libraries, and private venues. Inspired by the enthusiasm of kids, her favorite presentations are her author/school visits, which she does in two formats ? stage presentations and writers workshops for kids. Laila & Tokar and The Chaos Scroll, book one of a young adult fantasy series, has been in the top ten at both Amazon and Fictionwise.
