Sera Kane is a 30-something lady, caretaker of one Spawn and three dogs, and married to a wonderful former sailor. Without all of these factors, her life would not be nearly as rich and beautiful. She's gotten to live many lovely places including Alaska and Japan, and most recently moved from California to Texas. Writing has been her passion her entire life, as word-smithing is a beautiful and creative art form. Her grandest wish is to write pieces that the reader can't stand to put down. Sera believes everyone should be in therapy and wants to remind people that Hope dies last. There is always a chance for happiness and improvement with each breath you take. So keep breathing: our world is definitely better with you in it.
