About the Author
K.A. Monroe is a former journalist who now writes fiction and expanded genres; and is currently working on some interesting and unique projects to be released over the next three to four years. She has also written and directed a successful murder mystery stage play, based on true events titled the Legend of Biltmore Mary. She is currently working on sit-com pilot scripts and other screenplays touching on the subject matter of haunting, bullying and other social issues that are changing in our world today. Like countless others, she was deeply touched and subsequently inspired by the true events of the tragic Tyke incident. She was moved to write her first two books (Tyke & the Elephant Angel for readers Preschool+ and Delta the Dancing Elephant for 7th grade+), both about elephants, after witnessing abuse they endured back in 2004. Additional confirmed titles are due to be released by this author: The first of those (Delta the Dancing Elephant - juvenile fiction) is scheduled to be published during the late summer/fall of 2013. Another children's meme story (with an adult version) and a young adult novel (The Danger of Good - fiction) are scheduled for 2014 release. There are about eight additional projects waiting for her attention.
