J.K. Accinni was born and raised in Sussex County before moving to Randolph,
New Jersey, where she lived with her husband, five dogs and eight rabbits, all
rescued and currently resides in Sarasota, Florida. Mrs. Accinni's passion for
wildlife conservation has led her all over the world, including three trips to
Africa, where ten years ago she and her husband fell in love with a baby
elephant named Wendi, that had been rescued by a wildlife group. That baby is
the inspiration for the character Tobi, the elephant featured in her fourth book
titled Hive.
The character of Caesar is inspired by a real life
iconic tiger from Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary in Sarasota. A
portion of the proceeds from her third book, Armageddon Cometh, will be donated
to the sanctuary in support of the enormous expense required to house and feed
the displaced wildlife in their careher readers to visit bigcathabitat.org to view the astounding facility and plan
a visit with your family.
Mrs. Accinni also invites you to visit her blog at
www.SpeciesIntervention.com , where information on The Big Cat Habitat and Gulf
Coast Sanctuary can also be viewed. Readers are encouraged to comment about the
book or your own creature experiences.
