Janys Dugas is a retired Language Arts teacher, traveler, animal lover, reader and now writer.  She always knew that her life would involve people, words and seeking new experiences.  She fell into teaching when offered a position in her senior year of college, accepted and was hooked. 

Her inspiration for this novel is Anne McCaffrey’s dragon books.  

The bond between animal and human entranced her.  In her studies toward the M.Ed, she has read most of the classics, but is always drawn to the more than normal. She always wanted to write, but everday aspects of life got in the way.  Now is the time.  

She is married, has a dog and has lived in Louisiana all of her life.  Born and reared in a small town, she moved to the New Orleans area to teach.  She is a graduate of Louisiana State University and Tulane University in New Orleans.  

Her experience in hurricanes led her to the Lion’s club in her home town in order to give back.  This series, Dolphin Dome Chronicles, is intended to educate by highlighting the seas of the world through sea life and cultures that do or inhabit the various areas.
