Joni Sensel is the author of more than a dozen nonfiction titles for adults and five novels for young readers, including a Junior Library Guild selection. She holds an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts (2015) and has served in leadership roles for the Society of Children’s Books Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI). A certified grief educator, she writes and teaches on topics of loss, creativity, and intuition. Sensel’s adventures have taken her to the corners of fifteen countries, the heights of the Cascade Mountains, the length of an Irish marathon, and the depths of love. She lives at the knees of Mount Rainier in Washington State with a puppy who came into her life as a gift that reflected afterlife influence.

As her sweetheart's body lies cooling on the living room floor, Joni Sensel--shattered but not surprised--revisits her premonition about this moment. From nearly the start of their fairy tale romance less than four years ago, she knew she would lose Tony, the man she considered to be her soul mate.
