September AOM: Richelle Mead

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

The September author of the month is Richelle Mead



Scorpio Richelle Mead is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy books for both adults and teens. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington where she works on her three series full-time. Before becoming a writer, she considered a few different career paths. She received a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan, an MA in Comparative Religion from Western Michigan University, and a Master in Teaching (Middle & High School English) degree from the University of Washington. In the end, she decided writing was the way for her but believes all of her education prepared her for it.

A life-long reader, Richelle has always had a particular fascination with mythology and folklore. When not writing, she enjoys bad reality TV, traveling, trying interesting cocktails, and shopping for dresses. Lots of dresses. She is a self-professed coffee addict, fights a constant (and losing) battle with procrastination, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous.

She is absolutely one of my favorite authors. She is truly gifted!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I am floored by how much she writes and how frequently.

I thought I had read somewhere that she has insomnia and writes when she can't sleep. It does seem like she has slowed down a bit since she had her son.
