SRR Colvin

SRR Colvin

About

I grew up in the karst topography of western Virginia where my fascination for geology and caves flourished.  My interest in the subject was fueled by a year of geology study in college.

I earned two A.A.& S. degrees in the New River Valley of Virginia and my B.A. in Communication Arts at Bluefield College in Bluefield, VA.


It was during the mid-1990s while I worked in adult literacy at a regional library that I began to write the story of a young geologist who would become Madison Terrence.  Working in sea of books was a powerful catalyst for my writing.


I am the mother of three and grandmother of six. I love to run and ride my mountain bike here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. When I'm not in Virginia, I travel with my husband, Jim, exploring the United States and going on safari in Africa.


(On the name: SRR stands for Susan, Richard, and Robert. We are the three Colvin siblings and we always stand together. So now we are together permanently in name.)

Story Behind The Book

The title, The Krybosian Stairpath, refers to the stairway portal that appears and leads Madison, her younger brother, Mica, and her best friend, Onyx Ruiz, into the interior world of Krybos. In the Greek language, “krybo” means “to hide.” The world of Krybos is hidden from those who dwell on the surface, but not from those who dare to descend the Krybosian Stairpath.
