She's a freelance writer, editor, and journalist who spends way too much time arguing with fictional characters and questioning why they make such terrible life choices. When she's not busy flipping romance tropes on their heads, you can find her hiking (getting lost), attending poetry slams (crying), or headbanging at Swedish metal concerts (confusing other fantasy writers). She reads approximately seventeen books simultaneously because apparently self-control is not for her. While she enjoys everything from poetry to non-fiction, her heart belongs to fantasy, especially the kind where princes turn out to be disappointments and romantic chaos ruins perfectly good magic. She's wanted to be a writer since she was six, though back then she had no idea she'd end up professionally ruining happily-ever-afters.
