Naomi Odell spent her youth roaming the woods beside Aragorn or nose-deep in a copy of Sabriel. Her love of stories made writing a natural fit as an adult, and she fell almost as hard for it as her fiery but flawed heroines (eventually) do for the broken men who love them.When she’s not hiding in a cafe with her laptop and a spiced chai, Naomi loves exploring the Rocky Mountains. She lives with one half-feral cat, her amazing husband, and the nagging feeling that she’s forgotten something.
