Iris Champion graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2003 with a degree in Science Education with a focus in Biology. Unbeknownst to her at that time, her life would take a drastic turn, leading her away from the rigid world of science as she sought ways to help her son with autism. What began as private journal entries, a few unpopular blog articles, and many recorded channelings, her first work of fiction was born, a trilogy, The Lioness Diaries, which she wrote in 2017. Today, Ms. Champion lives in Florida with her two beautiful children, and their adorable dog, Merlin.
