This has led to not only a peculiar open mind, but also a taste for the delightfully mysterious and macarb. After studying marine science and working for several years within the commercial fishing industry, Fionna finally decided to test run those voices that had taken up space in her head for far too long. When Fionna is not sitting in front of the computer screen trudging through painstaking first drafts, hanging out with her two kids, an oversized pooch and one amusingly logical husband. You can usually find her listening to podcasts, baking cakes, following that black line in the pool, or with her head in an array of books.
