Award-winning author, LJ Evans, lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's written compulsively since she was a little girl, often getting derailed from what she should be doing by a song lyric that sends her scrambling to jot a scene down. 

A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days deep in the pages of romance and mystery with a bit of the otherworldly thrown in. Her favorite characters are those who live resiliently, stubbornly and triumphantly getting through this wild ride called life with hope, love, and found families guiding them.  

Her novels have won multiple industry awards including:
