Biography
K.L. Denman began writing Young Adult fiction after reading the books of some talented authors and discovering the wonders of this fascinating genre. With her teen children and their friends providing inspiration, writing for teens became an irresistible venture. Earlier published writing includes short stories, articles for local newspapers, and Green Teacher Magazine. She spent some years involved in environmental preservation, as a member of The Surrey Bend Conservation Committee and assisted in creating a butterfly garden at an elementary school. She was born in Calgary, Alberta but spent most of her life in the Lower Mainland of BC, with the exception of the summers when she worked at a ranch in Alberta. She has also worked as a florist, as an Occupational Information Advisor, and in various office jobs. She now resides near Powell River, BC with her family of people, dogs, cats and horses.
