Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house.

Della's writing started around age 11, on an old Smith Corona typewriter. No, not an electric one. A real antique, made of metal and heavier than a wet coffin. Her first professional novel was Killing Time - the controversial Star Trek book which was recalled and re-edited in 1984. None of the rumors were true, of course. It was just a Star Trek book - a good enough work that the "reboot" movie borrowed heavily from the plot and structure. No kidding.

Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as Quantum Shaman: Diary of a Nagual Woman and Scrawls On the Walls of the Soul. Quantum Shaman focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while Scrawls is a continuation of those journeys many years later. If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise.

In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her fiction works include Sons of Neverland (an award-winning vampire novel); Coyote (a young adult thriller); and many other novels, short stories & poetry collections.

All of the titles mentioned here are available through Amazon, or through Eye Scry Publications.
