Hilary Faktor has a background in public relations with writing published in The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, HuffPost Canada, Cloud Lake Literary, and The Sunlight Press. When she’s not reading or writing, she manages to find herself downhill skiing, dabbling in adult gymnastics, or canoe racing up north—all of which make her incredibly nervous. “Pretty Bird” is her debut book. She resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
