SF McDonell is a country girl from Montana. Anything and everything outdoors that resulted in a bonfire at the end of a dirt road under a clear twinkling night sky sums up her early years. She was almost always outside from camping, hiking, fishing, boating, ATVs, mudding, horseback riding, building tree forts, biking, and hunting. Her teens were filled with volleyball, baseball, track, cheer, dance, playing the French Horn in the school band, rallies, and ASB. At one point she even tried out for the school football team. (A story for another time.) She attended college to pursue a career in criminal justice but transferred studies to psychology and pre-law. After a few life-changing medical diagnoses, she reignited her passion for writing.
