Cara Hartley, AKA Ornery Owl, is a 57-year-old disabled former nurse living in a remote town on the plains of Northeastern Colorado with her adult son and three cats. When not penning provocative poetry as Ornery Owl, writing gloomy Lovecraftian fantasy or doomy dystopian fiction as C.L. Hart, or spinning cheeky erotic sci-fi yarns as Lil DeVille, Ornery enjoys baking (hopefully well) and drawing (admissibly badly.) Ornery also features book reviews and recommendations at her virtual online bookstore, Readers Roost.
