ABOUT HJ CORNING

Nature is my first love. I’ve found solace in the forest since I was a child. My parents shared their knowledge of plants and animals, which gave me an appreciation of the forest beyond just the beauty of it. I’ve spent many free days hiking, backpacking, and sitting at the base of trees feeling life pulse through them. In addition, I have a degree in biology and understand the mechanics of plant life.

I’ve been inspired by the stories of others who’ve explored the wilderness. My stories are filled with powerful women, living life on their terms, and are deeply compassionate and caring.

I live in the mountainous southwest with my amazing husband, goofy rescue dog and lap warming cat. When I’m not writing, I’m hiking, backpacking or inventing products for hikers.
