About Jonna –
Jonna Laster’s earliest recollections take place in an old canvas tent on her parents’ Alaskan homestead. Stories told around the wood-stove remind her, to this day, of why she’s always written.
Jonna lives and writes in the Pacific Northwest with her family and their frisky Norwegian Elkhound, Thora.
Recently she published her first children’s book Nutshell Regatta.
