Quoleena Sbrocca (pronounced Kwo-LEE-nuh Suh-BROH-kuh) is a Denver native, lover of photography, and dreams of one day owning a horse. Though she is afraid of heights, if she were an animal, she would be an eagle. She has written two time travel/alternate history novels featuring Harriet Tubman and Jimmy Hoffa. Her Young Adult series, The Rayne Trilogy, is a B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree. Luminescence (The Rayne Trilogy #1) and SLIP both earned a Readers' Favorite 5-star review, and SLIP is presently a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards. Quoleena has loved creative writing since she was a child. In 3rd grade, she won a scholastic award for her illustrated short story, "Little Girl Lost." She wrote poetry and short stories during her guitar-playing college days in San Diego, all of which she keeps buried in a box of memories. Her favorite books to read tend to be in the days of horse-drawn carriages and noble courts. And she absolutely loves books set in worlds void of technology and unlike our own, with swords and magic and mystical creatures.
