Gianaclis (gee-on-a-klees) is a multi-award winning non-fiction author who was raised in the wilds of Oregon talking to trees and escaping work in the garden to read books. She writes upmarket speculative fiction with themes of family, platonic love, and nomance. Due to restless avocation syndrome, she’s been a nurse, farrier, fine printmaker, architect, foster/adoptive/birth mom, cheesemaker, and goat farmer. After a nomadic life as a military spouse and cheese instructor, she’s back in the wilds of Oregon living a civilized, off-the-power-grid life on the land once stewarded by the Takelma (Dagelma) people. In her spare time she teaches ballet and fitness to other gals of a certain age, pursues the finest glass of bourbon, and still talks to the trees.
