Dana Taylor was raised in the cultural crossroads of Southern California and graduated from the University of Redlands, CA with a degree in theatre and writing. She enjoyed a long marriage to a lawyer from Oklahoma and has seven grandchildren, which she finds astounding.

Her books have won various awards including Golden Quill Awards Best First Book (Ain’t Love Grand), and a 2014 Independent Spirit Book Award (Ever-Flowing Streams: Christ, Reiki, Reincarnation and Me). She records meditations for her blogsite, Supernal Living.
