About this author

edit data

I've never been a big fan of talking about myself, but if you really want to know, here are some random tidbits about me:

>I'm a California girl. This generally means I talk too fast and use "like" a lot.

>I have my doctorate in molecular anthropology. Translation: I sequence dead people's DNA and spend a whole lot of time in a lab, which I love.

>I've been writing since I was 11 years old. It's my hobby, my passion, and I'm so happy to get to share my work!

>My other passion is teaching. There's nothing more fun than getting a classroom of college kids fired up about anthropology!

>If I could have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because I'm terrified of heights.

The creepy haunted house from Midtown Sacramento. It just screams "write a story about me", doesn't it?

Last year my f... Read more of this blog post »

I don't know if I'm the only one who does this, but sometimes when the last book in a series I've loved releases, I kind of hesitate to pick it up. Not because I'm not dying to know what happens, but because I don't want it to be over! I like thinkin...more

I'm serious people: go grab a copy of this book! I seriously loved it. I'd heard good things from friends before I started it, and was definitely curious, but I had no idea how awesome it would be. And how funny! I seriously laughed a lot, especially...more

Baking Love was a really sweet, quick read that left me hungry for more :) (I'm really trying to avoid food puns here, but I can't help it!) The story of Kate and Eric is something I could just see happening and I loved their interactions. So much lo...more

Meradeth Houston liked Wendy Hines's review of The Chemistry of Fate: " First, let me explain what a Sary is. It's an angel who is created from a child who dies before taking their first breath.
