Roberta Trahan has been a writer her entire life, and was first published at the age of 16. After a 20 year career as a marketing consultant and publicity specialist, Roberta gave in to the call of creativity and returned to writing. Her first novel, THE WELL OF TEARS, was inspired by more than 300 years of family ancestry in Cornwall and Wales — and a deep love of the ancient culture, mythology, and lore of the land. Recognized early on for her creative ability, Roberta was awarded scholarships, internships, and professional opportunities with advertising agencies and in the film industry. In 1985, she graduated from the University of Oregon with a B.S. in Journalism and went on to work in various advertising and marketing positions. Today she is active in the local writing community as a speaker and instructor, and currently serves on the board of directors of The Seattle Freelances, the oldest writers association in the state. A Pacific Northwest native, Roberta makes her home near Seattle with her husband of over twenty years, two teenage children, and as many cats as they will allow her to have.
