About the Author

Madison Jayne Salters is a journalist, writer, editor, and translator who has lived all over the globe, only to settle back at her starting line: New York City. She works in publishing as a content leader for works in translation from Japanese for the US and European markets. She loves a good investigative deep dive, drinking too much coffee, her two little epileptic sausage dogs, and her partner—not necessarily in that order. Highly awarded for her work, she was once even named “Top 30 Under 30” by Westchester Magazine, which her family found hilarious. This is her third book.
