GeAnn Powers

The daughter of a rainbow chaser and a bridge burner, GeAnn Powers spent the first twenty years of her life as an urban gypsy roaming with her family through dozens of cities in six different states. With little opportunity to make and keep friends, GeAnn turned to books as an escape from her hectic lifestyle. Reading sparked her imagination and stories began forming in her own mind. When her family got to Kansas, GeAnn’s sojourner lifestyle finally came to an end. The back roads, scattered grooves, and the rolling countryside of Elk County became home to the elves and fairies residing in her imagination. The Year of the Firefly series is Mrs. Powers’ epic fantasy journey those back roads took her on.

Mrs. Powers currently resides in Michigan with her husband and sons, but her heart and her fairy realm will forever belong to the quiet brooks and shady grooves of the Little Ozarks of Kansas.
