Misty Hayes is a professional nerd, young adult fantasy author, and almost-retired cop who spent years chasing bad guys before deciding imaginary ones were more fun (because fiction is the only way to get away with murder).

“The true way to mourn the dead is to take care of the living—including yourself.”
