D. S. Moon is the well-traveled offspring and spouse of former military members. A foreign born, naturalized citizen, she has lived in multiple countries and numerous states. Grateful for the opportunity to experience a wide variety of cultures, accents, and food, she is always up for the challenge of learning new environs, of meeting new neighbors, and tasting new tastes. She has never met a stranger and will eagerly talk with anyone she meets. Her interest in people began early, and she raised two wonderful humans before gaining her degree in psychology from Columbia College. Currently, the author and her spouse call the rolling Flint Hills of Kansas home, where she enjoys the birds and wildlife that call her wooded yard home.
