Banu TülümenBanu Tülümen is an abstract painter who once owned her own hospitality services company. This is her first novel, though she has published several children's books, which she also illustrated. She writes Coincidences and Consequences to share Willow' story, which has parallels with her own life experiences, and she hopes for readers to be encouraged to believe in themselves and grasp second chances in their lives.

She currently resides in Summerland, British Columbia, with her two rambunctious dogs. She can usually be found either in her studio, taking care of her garden or in her kitchen, cooking traditional Turkish recipes with Canadian flair.
