Born and raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Courtney began writing at a very young age and was very passionate about it. Since moving to Arizona at age 16, she took a long break from it as she seemed to have hit a very long period of writer's block. She began writing again in 2008, due to finding NaNoWriMo which is an amazing contest/challenge for anyone needing that extra motivation. Since then, she has completed her first novel and has started work on the sequel.

She is an avid reader with a deep love of fantasy and horror. Growing up, horror novels were her main selection from the library shelves. She was inspired to write from an early age from reading novels by Stephen King. It wasn't until later in her life that she formed a love

“I love books because they are easier than people.”
Courtney Conant, The Blood Moon of Winter

“I love books because they are easier than people.”
Courtney Conant, The Blood Moon of Winter

“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”
Stephen King

“As far as how to treat her personally, she’ll teach us how if we let her. But it begins with listening and respect.”
Scott Rhine

“There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse's hooves: If one of the horse's hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there's probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you're looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.”
Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight

Courtney Conant EZ Read wrote: "Hello, Courtney! What did you think of "Dead Until Dark"?"

I really enjoyed the first few in the seris, but the longer a series goes on, the less I'm into it. I seem to be losing my interest. It's starting to remind me of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series.

The book was still enjoyable though. I'm sure I'll keep reading them as they come out.

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Courtney. It's greatly appreciated. If you love a good mystery, and you have either a Kindle, Nook or iBooks, I encourage you to try a sample of my first novel. It's called FORBIDDEN STEPS and it's getting raves and 5 stars across the board. Check out what folks are saying by clicking on the link below, then scroll downward.

Bradley Thank you for adding me as a friend. Fellow Michigander eh? And Ironwood no less. I don't think you live very far from my good friends, Billie Williams and Janet Elaine Smith. Heck, you might even know Janet, so goes to book signings in your area I think. =)
