John D. Payne writes stories about fairies, unicorns, dragons, and strange humans. She has an M.S. and certification in Secondary English and is co-editor of Young Ravens Literary Review. A Pushcart Prize nominee, her poems have been published in journals including Connecticut River Review, Fresh Ink, Star*Line, Noctua Review, Bacopa Literary Review, Oakwood, and included in the anthologies Fire in the Pasture and Dove Song. As a child she dearly wished her first initial stood for something adventurous and dashing like Seraphina or Sapphira, but she has grown comfortable with being a Sarah. Two of her three favorite words rhyme: splendiferous and stelliferous; the third word is a secret.
