Daraga's Quest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732080300)

Colleen H. Robbins has been writing for many years, and holds a B.A. degree in English Language and Literature from Lewis University (Romeoville, IL). She also holds degrees from Joliet Junior College (Joliet, IL) and the University of South Florida (Tampa, FL). She has attended numerous workshops, including the six week long Odyssey Fantasy Writer's Workshop in 2007. Her stories, poems, essays, and articles have appeared under a variety of names in everything from small regional magazines to widely distributed RPG-gaming magazines. She writes both mainstream (literary) fiction, and genre (science fiction, fantasy, and horror). Outside of writing, Colleen has lived in numerous (mostly coastal) states, and spent her childhood reading, primitive camping, hiking, skiing, and sailing in the northeastern US. While in the southeastern US, she learned to fight with a broadsword and round shield, took up archery, bellydance, costuming, and motherhood, as well as joining the Society for Creative Anachronism (re-creating Medieval and Ancient times). Further moving around the country enabled her to visit numerous museums, caves, mines, fossil sites, and historical areas such as Gettysburg. She enjoys attending historical re-creation weekends of a number of eras and cultures, and is a past member of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society. She continues to add new experiences, many of which find their way into her writing.
