Mikayla Blair was raised in the beautiful mountains of Flagstaff, Arizona. She attended Northern Arizona University, where she worked as a features reporter, photojournalist and assistant news editor at the student newspaper, The Lumberjack. After graduating with a degree in strategic communication, Blair moved to St. George, Utah where she worked as a reporter for the region’s largest digital news source, St. George News. She covered Zion National Park, health, local politics, breaking news and features, but her favorite has always been crime reporting. She returned to Arizona toward the end of 2019 where she met and married her husband, Shannon. They currently reside in Cottonwood, Arizona with their adorable pups, Zeus and Clint Eastwood. When she’s not writing, Blair is typically hanging out at the river or taking weekend trips across the southwest.
