About the author

A. Russo is an applications developer by day, romance writer by night (and on breaks, and in the evenings, and sometimes during work when the important people aren't watching). Genderfluid and proud of it, the author can frequently be found in girl-mode, boy-mode, or somewhere-inbetween-mode, essentially becoming the equivalent of a gender-transformer - without the cool accompanying mechanical noise. We are still working on that technology. When not writing, our hero-slash-heroine enjoys horseback riding, cooking, and daydreaming about what to write next.
