Roberta Trahan

Roberta Trahan is a former journalist and marketing professional who loves researching her books almost as much as writing them. She tries to incorporate her love of mythology, folklore, and history into her books and is particularly fascinated byher own Celtic heritage, which includes more than three hundred years of family ancestry in Cornwall and Wales.

First published nationally as a teenager, Roberta earned a degree in journalism and advertising at the University of Oregon and then worked in various sales, publicity, and marketing positions before turning to writing books. When Roberta isn’t writing, she stays active in the local writing community as a speaker and instructor, and is a member of many organizations.

A Pacific Northwest native, Roberta makes her home near Seattle, Washington, with her family and as many cats as they will allow her to have. She also admits to having a mild obsession with hummingbirds, a not-so-mild addiction to coffee and chocolate, and an antique jewelry hoard.
