R.Aveen
R.Aveen is an Australian from Sydney who currently lives in Northern Michigan, USA, with her husband and two cats.
She came up with the idea for this book when still in Australia and chose the south coast locale as it wasn't too far from where she was living. However, she started writing the novel in 2020 when already residing in America, which made taking research trips exceedingly difficult. She mostly used memories and the wonders of the internet – luckily, she enjoys doing research.
R.Aveen loves reading - especially contemporary fantasy with a splash of magic and mystery ;) - animals, nature, bushwalking, the beach, movies, hanging out with friends, adventure, travelling and eating delicious vegan food. She is passionate about wildlife conservation and the environment.
"Animal Listeners: The Awakening of Quinby Clark" is her debut novel. As well as the usual copy edit and proofread, to ensure authenticity and accuracy, R.Aveen also hired an Australian First Nations Cultural sensitivity editor, a Deaf Consultant, and an Australian veterinarian – with very positive feedback from everyone.
