~*~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~*~
S.M. Knowles was born in Elmira, New York where she was
swept away in a whirlwind to the Land of Oz—Independence, Kansas. Her parents
were relocating for working opportunities and decided that this would be the
perfect place to start new roots. Little did she know that this place would
contribute to the inspiration for the first book she wrote in her Rylee Everley
Series.
While growing up, S.M. would travel the roads around her
house while imagining she was somewhere else. Her imagination would take her
everywhere, making the long hot summer days seem shorter throughout her
fantasies.
At the age of twelve, she decided to write her first book.
Filled mostly with dialog, she filled up one-hundred pages, front and back.
After taking the book downstairs to show her mom, and persuading her to buy her
more paper, she excitedly ran back to her room. As she barreled through the
door, S.M. tripped over items left on her floor, and her papers came raining
down in her room. Discouraged, she stood there in tears, picking up her papers
and throwing them in the trash. Her work had no organization, no numbers on her
pages, just a child fulfilling a joy that she would put down and not pick up
again.
When she became older, she joined the military for something
different. In that time, she was able to explore many places and even met her
husband in Iraq. After coming home, she started her family in Arizona and went
back to school, earning a Master’s degree in Adult Education and Training.
