Ava Schaffer never felt like she belonged where she was born, on the vast open prairie of Western Kansas. The artist and dreamer planned to remedy that after high school graduation, by packing a moving truck and escaping to New York, but her mother's cancer diagnosis forced her to stay. Their relationship always a struggle, reversing the roles of mother and daughter, as Ava became the sole caretaker of the difficult woman, tested the very edge of familial love's limits. After a three year battle, her mother succumbs to the unforgiving disease and Ava is left alone to exit the reclusiveness of her current life and attempt to rejoin the gossip laden, high school football worshipping, get married and have babies, small town society she grew up in. Ava's childhood best friend, Pode Wagner, a humbly practical farmer, helps her become reacquainted with a community of long lost friends. As he provides epically introverted Ava the companionship and support she didn't realize she missed so desperately, Ava finds herself accidentally enthralled with the charming, yet broken, Lucas Ellis, a world traveled former military man and the current county deputy. Imagining several different futures, none of which include leaving her hometown, Ava's new life begins to crash down around her as her alcoholic father slides. Again at the juncture of self-preservation and self-sacrifice, Ava suffers an earthshattering loss, discovers a life altering truth, and makes an unexpected decision.

Born and raised on a farm outside of the small Kansas town of Clyde, I have been telling and writing stories for as long as I can remember and according to my family, even before. They claim that not long after I learned to talk, they would pull my highchair up to the kitchen table and I would regale them with tales of talking animals and barnyard shenanigans. At 19, I bought a guitar and moved to Nashville to learn the art of a different type of storytelling, songwriting. Kicking around in the music scene for several years, I sustained myself with jobs ranging from teaching classes about blenders, to donning a hoop skirt and giving tours of a Civil War Mansion, to selling tickets to traveling Broadway Shows. The only thing that stays the same in life is that it constantly changes and as mine did, I found myself headed west to Colorado. Refocusing on a writing career, I have spent the last couple of years churning out short stories and writing and revising my debut novel, The Sky After the Rain. Though it disappointingly does not include any talking animals, I think it is still pretty good!
