Dora grew up on a steady diet of Battle Star Galactica, Buck Rogers, Star Trek, and Batman. These shows inspired her to create universes in her head.

She started her creative career with poetry and animation, but it wasn't enough to paint the worlds and people that inhabit her brain. So, she became a novelist – the perfect format to unleash the denizens of her mind into the unsuspecting world.

While she writes in various genres, she is a speculative fiction writer who lives somewhere in the southern wilds of Kansas City with her husband and two cats.
