A word about the author…

Elena Mikalsen grew up in Ukraine but came to New York City as a refugee with her family at age 17. She knew her husband was her soulmate when their eyes locked in an elevator at the Lenox Hill Hospital in 1996.

She is somewhat obsessive about travel, but when at home in San Antonio, she can be found browsing through bookstores or antique shops with her husband and two children. When not writing stories, she is a Pediatric Psychologist helping children with chronic medical illness.

This is her first work of fiction. Visit her at:
