Josie A. Okuly

Ever since I was a small child, I’ve had my nose stuck in
a book. Nothing in my childhood world compared to a visit
to the library, since I yearned to spend every waking
moment exploring the treasured books that lined the
shelves.

I began writing stories and poems when I received my first
diary at the age of nine. Through the years I’ve filled
many journals with scribbles, drawings and observations.
In college I studied history and archaeology as I pursued
my dream of becoming an explorer of lost civilizations. I
didn’t become the next Indiana Jones, but I never lost my
love of writing.

These days, I’m a wife, mother, elementary teacher, and
writer. I share my busy life with my husband Rick, our son
Sean, and a cat named Frodo.

Pacific Breeze Hotel is my fourth published book.

My work has appeared in the Adirondack Review, Adoption
Week, Anotherealm, Cold Glass Magazine, E Street Journal,
Long Story Short, Millennium Shift, Nuvein Magazine,
Tapestry, and The Harrow.
