C.A. Rupp is a happily married mother of two cats and a mini dog. After spending quite a few years wondering what she wanted to be when she grew up; including over a decade in theatre (doing just about every job there is) and an assortment of day jobs varying from veterinary assistant, security, accounting, bar help, travel and office drone...she concluded there was only one thing left to tackle...writing fantasy.  With the support and encouragement (read nagging) from a loving husband, her first novel was born. She lives in St. Louis with her family.
