About the author

Courtney Ranger has loved reading for longer than she can remember. She won her first national writing competition as a first grader and has been writing ever since, although she much prefers writing fantasy and historical fiction to essays about career aspirations. When she's not preoccupied with a book of some form or another, you can find her masquerading as her alter ego at the local hospital. She has a weakness for dark chocolate and has declared liquid glue her arch-nemesis.
