	<h3>“It was beginning again.</h3>
Elizabeth looked around the room from face to face. She saw rage, fear, tears. She saw the monster; his face covered with hair and his nostrils flaring. His feet were heavy and thick, but he looked weak. She needed to run, get to her safe place. She moved back toward the closet and quickly disappeared.”

<h2 style="margin-top:0;">Tess Banion</h2>


Tess became a storyteller at the age of two.

It took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. <a href="#">Her first novel</a> is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.

She has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last. She lives in Lawrence, Kansas.</div>
