Taryn Noelle Kloeden

Taryn is a lover of nature and all things furry and feathered. As an anthrozoologist and PhD candidate in environmental science, she is dedicating her life to understanding and protecting animals, both human and nonhuman. This zeal for the outdoors combined with a lifelong love affair with fantasy and horror stories led her to create the YA dark fantasy series, The Fenearen Chronicles. Taryn lives on a micro-farm in Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley and is full-time faculty at Purdue University Global.
