Born into a remote Mennonite community in northern British Columbia, Canada, Roxi spent her childhood surrounded by hard-working farmers, loggers, and good-hearted small town people. Curiosity about what lay beyond the horizon, and hunger for bigger challenges drew her away after high school, but the grounding and appreciation of that simple beginning remain at her core. Roxi feeds her soul by discovering new things, whether they are found on distant shores or curled up in the swinging chair on the porch of her cabin, lost in a story well told. She lives on Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia, Canada.
