AUTHOR
BIO: Kate Avery Ellison
I've been making up stories since I was
five years old, and now I'm thrilled to be able to do it as a full-time
job. I have an obsession with dark fantasy, dystopian futures,
and Pride and Prejudice-style love stories full of witty banter and
sizzling, unspoken feelings. When I'm not writing, I'm creating digital
art, reading funny blogs, or watching my favorite shows (which include
TVD and BSG). I live with my geeky husband and our two bad cats in
Atlanta, GA.
