About this author

Lisa Shafer is a Utah native and a writer of young adult fiction. Her current novels and WsIP all contain elements of the paranormal or urban fantasy, but someday she hopes to branch out into steampunk as well. As she has spent so many years teaching puberty-ridden adolescents, she tends to prefer first person POV in order to use teens' perspectives on the world. Or, possibly, she never really grew up and tends to see the world that way naturally.
When she is not grading her students' papers, reading, or writing, Ms. Shafer enjoys traveling. Her bad habits include staying up way too late at night to read and eating way too much chocolate.

Breathless by Brigid Kemmerer
This one's my favorite of the Elemental series so far!! It's awesome.
It is a novella, so I don't want to say anymore than what's in the blurb and spoil the plot. But the way Brigid has captured the turmoil of the protagonist is really good. :D
