Zelanda Dowell is a writer who also genuinely enjoys cooking and various crafts. As a young girl, Zelanda's father would often encourage her to "put her feelings on paper" when she didn't know how else to express them; which in turn helped feed her prominent passion for writing. Zelanda is a multi-genre author who has written cookbooks and fiction works with plans of expanding into even more genres.
Cooking is also a strong passion of Zelanda's. Being mostly taught by her grandmother, she learned a lot of old fashioned home style cooking techniques which she still uses in her own kitchen today.
