About the Author

I was born in the Czech Republic where I spent my teenage years scouring ancient crypts and medieval buildings. Stories and book ideas sparked by these magical places flowed into a journal no one has ever seen. I couldn't help myself and included one of those spectacular, secret underground crypts as a setting for some of the chapters of my debut young adult novel, Bring Me Back. 

In my early twenties, I moved to the United States and later graduated from Bentley University with a B.A. and an M.B.A. I met my husband in New York City. After our first daughter was born, we realized city life was not for us. We packed up and moved to Atlanta where we are currently raising our family: two daughters, one cat, and one dog.
