<h2>Tess Banion became a storyteller at the age of two.</h2>
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.

<strong>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.</strong> This is her first novel but not her last. She lives in Lawrence, Kansas.
