She lives in Virginia with her husband, children, a Sheltie, and a lopsided cat. She’s passionate about supporting literacy and the love of reading, and when she isn’t writing, she loves traveling to the kinds of magical settings where her books are set. She’s also addicted to horses, skiing, chocolate-flavored tea, and anything with Nutella on it. Insomnia is her one and only superpower.
