About the Author
In my opinion, growing up in a small town can give someone an edge in using their imagination. It becomes a necessity to keep oneself sane.
My imagination, although it caused trouble at first, ultimately saved me. The downside to having a vivid imagination is the temptation to tell falsehoods.
Despite being considered a responsible adult due to my age, I still yearn to attend Hogwarts and have climbed into countless wardrobes hoping to find the entrance to Narnia. I must admit, I get lost on the King’s Road.
However, my profession as an international bestseller permits me to be seen as quirky or eccentric, which I am grateful for. I am happily married with two daughters, and I share my home with two enormous dogs, two ferocious cats, and I enjoy a glass of red wine on occasion.
My work is represented by Natalie Lakosil from the Bradford Literary Agency and published traditionally by Montlake Romance and Skyscape Publishing.
