Matti Lena Harris has always lived in the California mountains, so
when her father read THE HOBBIT to her when she was ten, she
naturally started imagining the woods and rocky crags outside her
bedroom window as the realm of elves and trolls. It’s a practice she
continues to this day.
She earned her MA in English from California Baptist University in
2004, and since that time she has worked both as an adjunct English
professor and as a freelance copy editor. She lives with her two cats,
Taylor and Boo, who are her best support and her worst critics.

“I’m naught but a wanderer of this realm. My passion is discovery and my
interests many. Not just your average wanderer, but one of history, time
and magic. My writings vary as I am truly interested in many things from
the mundane to the outlandish.”
Della, originally born in New York and transplanted to Southern
California, has been writing tales of her fantasy worlds since she could
hold a crayon. By day she is a mild manner freelance writer for
Associated Content and has published over 200 articles including a few
short stories, but by night she wanders with nothing more than pen and
paper among the dragons and other denizens that roam her worlds.
Della currently lives in El Cajon, California with her parents and two dogs.
