Author Farral Bradtke was born and raised in the United States' Midwest, and has traveled extensively throughout the
United States and Canada. Traveling is one of her many joys in life.
She has worked most of her life as a speech pathologist, treating children and adults from age 8 months to 108 years,
in almost every imaginable setting. At one point she also spent over sixteen years as a university professor, teaching
students the art and science of speech therapy.
Farral was lucky enough to find two of her life's passions very early in life: a fascination with both people and
words. And they go together, don't they? What good would the spoken or written word be without people? We
use them to help, give information, support, convince, manipulate, mislead, humiliate, destroy, terrify. . .and much
more. Words can make the heart soar or fall, to shatter like priceless crystal.
She has spent much time both reading and writing and her life's work has taught her that there is much more to a human
being than what is seen on the surface. It does't matter--it's all intensely interesting to her.
Farral's interest in things paranormal began at the age of eight, when she realized that she knew through a dream the
exact moment of her beloved grandmother's death. Add to that various and sundry moments when the hairs on the back of
her head stood up straight, and you've developed a fan of the paranormal. And when you add the concept of things preternatural
to the dark side of human nature, her imagination runs riot. And she's got to share.
So get the book, settle in your favorite chair or wherever you are happiest reading, and learn the tale of Heartless
Heartland. Oh, and. . .lock the doors and leave the lights on.
