Amethyst Stormrider is a 30 something woman living in a small former logging town at the base of a very tall, snowy, and increasingly stirring volcano in Northern California. She has two children, one who is autistic and one that has chronic anxiety and depression, both of which she loves dearly and who both live with her. All money that she generates from the sales of her stories she uses in providing for her children and her daughter's cat.
She also writes under Teresa Garcia and as LadyRainStarDragon. As Teresa Garcia she has several books published by THG StarDragon Publishing, and in the Megalithica/Immanion anthology “Women's Voices in Magic.” She must share her room with books she has collected over the years, and her son's collection of Transformers that seem to always be taking over the house – to her daughter's great dismay.
