Her work has also been published in Canada and Turkey.

While searching for a new literary agent, she’s been writing e-books and polishing two full-length paranormal novels mixed with her zany sense of humor. Zinnia lives with her mountain man husband, and together, they raise large gardens and a houseful of children, not necessarily in that order. Z likes reading fan mail and would love to hear from readers who have enjoyed her stories: zinnia_hope@sbcglobal.net.
