Latasha Schaller’s life has centered on her love of the written word and her belief in its power to change the world, one person at a time. This passion led her to pursue post-secondary studies in English, completing an Honours Bachelor of Arts and Masters in English at Lakehead University in her hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Trapped is Latasha’s first novel and far from her last. As someone who knows firsthand the struggles of mental illness, she hopes to use her writing to show people they are not alone in their fight through the darkness into the light.
