Brandi Easterling Collins discovered her passion for writing in junior high when she began hand-writing her first novels in pencil on notebook paper. She later earned a bachelor's degree in creative writing. She is an author and blogger who lives in Dardanelle, Arkansas, with her husband, two kids, and four dogs.​ "Caroline's Lighthouse" is her first published YA novel, which was followed by "Jordan's Sister," "What I Learned That Summer," "One Shot," and "When Does Life Begin?"
