Eilis (Irish Gaelic pronounced Eye-Lish) has always gone her own way, which has led to an unconventional life full of adventure. She spent many years videotaping whales in Cape Cod, MA and off season, she traveled.  She has hiked glaciers in Patagonia, kayaked fjords in Norway, and sailed from Key West to Cuba, among other wild excursions. Eilis lived in the US Virgin Islands for eight years and sailed throughout the Caribbean and in the Mediterranean.

She later spent three years driving across the US in an RV and ended up in the mountains of New Mexico where she built a natural off grid cabin. She crossed the Sangre de Christo mountain range to publish a community magazine in Los Alamos, NM, and worked as a clearance investigator at Los Alamos National Lab. She fell in love with a scientist there and now lives with him and two cats.

Starting as a child on the school bus where she day-dreamed elaborate plots and characters, Eilis has been formulating stories in her head her whole life. She plans to spend the rest of it sharing her rich and passionate imagination with others.
