​

Audra grew up as a military brat, and as a result of moving seven times throughout her childhood, many of her pieces seek to redefine the concept of home. Reading and escaping into fictional worlds was her coping method as a child in a constantly changing environment; naturally, she began to create her own worlds when she was 10 years old. When she went into college for a degree in restoration ecology, she found her passion for the Earth and became a naturalist. She has worked across the American West teaching ecology in Yellowstone National Park, the fjords of Southeast Alaska, and the Colorado Rockies. She draws inspiration for her fantastical words from the natural and often translates ecological knowledge into fun, digestible fiction.
