Hi! My name is Jorelle and I love writing and studying animals. Throughout most of our life, we have enjoyed writing stories and studying animals in nature and in fiction or folklore. While I initially went to school for creative writing, we got certified as a veterinary assistant so we could accomplish a bucket list goal of working with animals and meeting several exotic ones. During my time as a vet assistant, we realized we want to write more about animals, pet care, and the human-animal-nature bond binding us altogether.
I have written 2 books, created a veterinary card game / flash cards, and make several smaller books for friends and family as presents whenever I have the time.
