About the author
Riley Blankenship grew up in rural, Alaska. But despite her isolated upbringing, she has travelled many places across the U.S., and the world. She first fell in love with the town of Bantry, Ireland, when she stayed there for a week at 15 years old. Something about the place spoke to her. At the same time, she was busy developing the character of Cory McBrown, and finally knew where to set her. In a lot of ways, Bantry is not unlike her hometown of Palmer, Alaska. It's quiet, has a lot of farmland, and the nature surrounding it is spectacular. The only thing it's missing is the bay.
She is a recent graduate of The Los Angeles Film School, and hopes to someday continue Cory's story on the small screen.
