Monica J. Sword

Monica J Sword is the mother of Lena Kay Rufus, the original author of "Hoofen Floofen Island." Publishing Lena’s story has been her dream even before Lena’s untimely passing. Bringing this uplifting story to a broader audience has been key to Monica's ability to cope with devastating loss. She also writes stories and musings on living a full life at lifeisaprettyword.com and has found writing and art to be particularly effective for transitioning from grief to grace. Monica spends her days traveling and making art on the page or canvas. She misses Lena every day.
