Iris Champion lives in Florida with her two beautiful children, and their adorable dog, Merlin. Her life is a simple one, lived mostly at her desk. Occasionally, she wanders out to enjoy nature, taking photographs of everything from beautiful sunsets on the white sand beaches to gators in the swamp. It is her hope that in her writing she not only gets to enjoy one of her greatest passions but also that it may afford her the freedom she desires for herself and her children. For her readers, she hopes her writing gives them an enjoyable reprieve from reality
