Bethany Atazadeh is a Minnesota-based author and avid reader. She graduated from Northwestern College in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a Writing Emphasis. After graduation, she pursued songwriting, recording, and performing with her band, and writing was no longer a priority. But in 2016, she was inspired by the NaNoWriMo challenge to write a novel in 30 days, and since then she hasn't stopped. She is passionate about God, her husband, writing, painting, music, and dogs, specifically her Corgi puppy, Penny.
