Autorenporträt
Growing up on the banks of the Copper River, Aurora read voraciously. Without access to electricity or modern conveniences, Aurora entertained herself by reading. Aurora also wrote, keeping a journal, making a 'newspaper' and recording the beauty of the land in poetry which was published several times in The Tundra Times newspaper.In 1986, Aurora was one of the first Native women to graduate from the University of Montana School of Forestry. Her work demanded technical and scientific research report writing, but Aurora always dreamed of writing her own stories. In 2004, she published Terror at Black Rapids about a fictional terrorist attack on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. In 2006, Ramona's Gift was published and received a fiction award from Mary Tall Mountain.As she worked, raised children and became a grandparent, Aurora wrote stories and poems. Aurora was homeschooled in her grade school years and in turn, homeschooled her own children. Her poem, A Dog at the Beach, about walking a dog on the beach was selected in a City of Kenai contest in 2019.It is Aurora's dream to write stories that are timeless and meaningful for young adults and older readers. The love of reading is contagious and Aurora wants to spread it.
