Baj Goodson was born to make up stories. Even before she could form sentences on paper, her mind whizzed with adventures and characters, ripe for the picking. Growing up, her love of storytelling occasionally translated into tall-tale fibs, but after enduring more than her fill of consequences, she learned to keep the fabrications confined to paper.

Baj lives in northeast Texas with her husband and their two Chorkies. She is the oldest of two children. She formerly worked in healthcare, retail, sales, education, photography, design, events, and multiple facets of the wedding industry; becoming a published author has always been her wildest dream and ultimate goal.

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

There are so many worlds I'd love to visit. Of course, the most cliche of them all is the world of Harry Potter. But I'd also want to hang out in Narnia and make flower crowns with the dryads and go swimming with the naiads, and I'd die to stay in luxurious Rivendell and have a feast in Hobbiton. And oh to just sit and chat with the crew of the Rampion as it floats between Earth and Luna! (less)

I'm TERRIBLE at sticking to reading lists!! Case in point: at the start of 2019, I aimed to read as many books from my personal shelves as possible without borrowing from the library or buying new ones. It's now September and I've only read 7 books I own, most of which I'd read before! But out of a shortened TBR of 22 from the start of summer into fall, I completed A Darker Shade of Magic & A Gathering of Shadows by VE Schwab, Meet Cute by Helena Hunting, The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan, Don't Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno, Romanov by Nadine Brandes, The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, Waiting for August by Jessica Shook, A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, How to Hack a Heartbreak by Kristin Rockaway, and Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey.
