Jeanna Mason Stay has always been a sucker for fairy tales and myths—the romantic, the gruesome, the macabre, the utterly bizarre. She loves fireflies, serial commas, and galahs [pronounced guh-LAHz], not necessarily in that order. She dreams of one day owning a herd of Chia sheep. Jeanna, her husband, and her four children currently live in Utah, but she misses the brilliant blue skies and unusual (occasionally deadly) fauna of Alice Springs.
