Dina uses her free time to bring worlds to life through her writing. She spends her evenings with her two dogs, harassing her husband to the brink of insanity, obsessing over all things teal, and perfecting her dinosaur impressions—she may have a slight obsession with the prehistoric creatures. Dina's life is spent enduring the hot, humid sunsets of Florida, known to the natives as the Armpit Climate, but to the lovely tourists as The Eternal Vacation Climate.
