ALLI EARNEST drinks way too much coffee and is obsessed with burning redwood-scented candles, but growing up with two sisters, she’s always been a tad overdramatic. It doesn’t help that she enjoys books with dragons, wizards, and laser swords.

Graduating with a bachelor's degree in Middle Grades Education, Alli taught English Language Arts for five years and tried to convince thirteen-year-olds that Poe wasn’t nearly as crazy as he sounded.
