Mayumi Elegado was made in the Philippines, born in Minnesota, and has lived on both U.S. coasts, plus a few more shorelines overseas. From an early age, she delved deep into the written word and power of storytelling. This interest fortuitously led to her current position as founder/publisher/owner of Moonshine Ink. She has lived in Tahoe/Truckee since 1999, and dreams of being a surfing mountain cowgirl.
