Summer Hanford grew up on a dairy farm in Upstate New York. She earned her bachelor's degree in experimental psychology and went on to do graduate and doctoral work in behavioral neurology. Eventually turning away from long hours spent in research, Summer returned to her childhood dream of writing. In 2014, Summer partnered with fan fiction author Renata McMann on her well-loved Pride and Prejudice variations. Additionally, in 2016, Summer was lucky enough to be asked to join Austen Authors, a great place for fans to get more Jane Austen. She currently lives in Michigan with her husband and compulsory, deliberately spoiled cats.
