About the author

A registered nurse, Arlene Evans became interested in colorblindness/CVD when, as a school nurse, she realized how common the condition is and the life-long challenges faced by many of those with CVD.

As a result she wrote two books about CVD: One for children (Seeing Color) and one for teens and adults (Color is in the Eye of the Beholder).

Her romance novel, Dinner for Two, features a colorblind hero.

A prolific writer, Arlene Evans has had hundreds of articles and stories published.

Her daughter is the writer Kate Evans.
